After being Mr. I Am Too Independent to Meet Anyone, I realized that life can be far better with an amazing partner with whom to learn, laugh, dance, hike, ski, sleep in, travel, or create mischief. Help me please, PlentyOfFish.com! To preempt your big concern: yes, I'm a surgeon, but I'm one of the good guys and my work has me reconstructing the faces of trauma victims and helping elderly people see. I work hard and absolutely love what I do, but I have many outside interests and activities. It helps that I'm in control of my schedule! After being bi-coastal and splitting my summer between Baltimore and L.A, I am back hom in Baltimore. I missed my friends, the culture, the laid-back style, the seasons, the people, but not the humidity :) I travel all over the country and the world and can't get enough of it! I'm headed to Malaysia, Tokyo, Korea, and many other places in the next year, each for a few days.

I am seeking someone beautiful both inside and out, happy, healthy, in great shape, with a strong flair of chutzpah, passion (romantic, personal, and professional) and energy. I want to meet someone who is ambitious in business and personal affairs, who is not afraid to speak her mind, and who can teach me a few things. Working in Baltimore and D.C. for a couple years really humbled me, and I realized I am drawn to pepole (both as friends and romantically) who are at least as intelligent as I am (not necessarily book-smart but at least street smart), well-read, well-spoken, and loved by children and animals. Just as importantly, I hope to meet a woman who believes in being equals. I don't want center stage, nor do I want a back seat ticket (though we can occasionally trade off). I want a real partner who returns my love and challenges and inspires me to love more. Finally, being SUNNY, silly, occasionally (or frequently!) sarcastic, goofy, and even sometimes a plain ole dork or geek can be cute :)

A perfect first date would allow us to really connect, see whether there's a spark (or create a spark!!), and figure where we're going from there.
