Having recently moved to the East Bay from SF, I still consider myself an urbanite and looking for someone who likes being connected to the pulse and diversification of The City. I do love the coast and the countryside but the suburbs keeps me wanting for the City’s energy…

My bookshelves best reflect the multifaceted person that I am...from Bharati Mukherjee, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mosley and Rumi to absolute beach trash. I prize intellect yet love pop culture, read The Economist and Wall Street Journal and devour Jet magazine for "dessert" (when I visit my Mom!). My friends describe me as having a great sense of humor, warm, kind, giving, stylish, consistent, balanced, very intelligent and sometimes even handsome (these are the friends that I often cook for!) The arts are important to me...theatre, contemporary art and independent or documentary films. If meeting for a drink on Wed. night at MOMA, heading to Tribeca, Sundance or Art Basel turns you on, then we may be a match!

Physical activity in the outdoors is important to me and hopefully a part of your life as well. . An early morning hike at Tennessee Valley or Bear Valley, motorbiking in Sonoma, yoga in Golden Gate Park...helps keep me in touch with myself, happy and inspired…(and in good shape!) I’m also a bit of a free and kindred spirit.

A relationship is a top priority to me at this point in my life. I have "been there and done that” having worked and traveled in about 4 countries now. While I loved working in various developing economies and learning about many cultures, economies, languages. I am ready for the next chapter in my life with someone special...travel, play, take walks, talk, spontaneous weekends away, make dinner together, going to a dive jazz club and drink champagne, do some toe touching... Are you interested?

I would love to meet a woman who is well educated, emotionally & intelligently literate, warm, humorous, relaxed, accomplished, athletic, sophisticated, sexy yet slightly awkward in heels and loves our ongoing and intense intimate time together. You believe that change equals opportunity and every day represents a new adventure. You are present, engaged and understand that listening is better than offering up unasked for solutions. Well designed space is important to you. You understand the difference between style and substance. You believe in green technology and understand that everything we do impacts the greater world. Ideas interest you. Connecting people and ideas together are even more intriguing. You don't need the kudos because you understand that the brilliance comes in bringing the right people together. And self deprecation…yes!

It all equates to chemistry I know. However, it is really important to me that you are looking for just one man to be a real partner and lover…please! You understand that communication is key and that building trust takes time. I look forward to hearing from you. If you are interested, drop a quick note. I promise to respond in kind. Thanks and all the best in your search.

Coffee maybe a drink - chit-chat and go from there!
