I am a PhD student at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, but I'm in Schenectady for my job over the summer. I'll be returning to the Albany area after I graduate in May 2010. I enjoy learning and science especially. I am also a collegiate varsity letterman and I help coach the track team at CSM. I enjoy the company of intelligent and athletic people as their interests generally coincide with my own. I am a scorpio and thus very passionate about anything I do, and being Irish doesn't help tame my passions. I enjoy my Irish-Catholic heritage and hope that I can find someone who does too. Irish111983 is also my messenger name in yahoo and aim if you care to contact me on there also.

I enjoy anything that allows me to get to know someone for a first date. Coffee at a bookstore is fantastic as I am an avid reader, going to or participating in a sporting event reveals a person's competitive nature, and so on. I like getting to know people for who they are and not who they present themselves to be.
