CURRENT MISSION

...nothing so liberalizes a man and expands the kindly instincts that nature put in him as travel and contact with many kind of people. -Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in rural north Jersey, went to UVA, worked in Boston, served in the Peace Corps, now getting MBA at Wharton. Would love to show you around and have a good chat over dinner.

I'm just north of 6 feet tall and enjoy cooking large breakfasts, though rarely have time to do so. I love to read the newspaper with bagel and some tea. I think cell phones and Smart Wool socks are great inventions and can remember movie lines much better than I can remember names.
