I’m smart, kind, funny, laid back, creative, down to earth, open minded. I’m an architect and am lucky enough to have a career that is one of my passions. Some other interests include art and design, jogging, exploring the city, staying healthy, movies, reading, cooking, hanging out with my friends and family. I have a social and environmental conscience and love traveling and exploring different cultures (I’m in the process of planning a trip to India). I’m 90% vegetarian (I still eat fish) but you don't have to be. I have conquered a marathon and am hoping to run the NY marathon one day. Love dogs but not really a cat person. Snowboard with fear. Prefer life in the city and not really interested in moving out to the 'burbs but do enjoy being out in the wilderness. Gravitate more towards indie but am a bit of a closet pop culture junkie.

I think what I've come to realize that sometimes the most unexpected people end up being the perfect partner. All these lists of likes and dislikes doesn't really matter that much as long as we are supportive of each other. I value someone who is intelligent, positive, open-minded, and sincere. You should have a sense of humour, perhaps a few quirks, have interests and passions, and your friends and family are important to you....oh and if you know how to cook artichokes that would be a bonus.
