About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A gay, social chameleon trying to figure out a place I would eventually call home...

ABOUT ME

I love to eat more than I love to cook, but I'm pretty good at doing both. I'm pretty adventurous in terms of what I eat, but I love very spicy ethnic foods. I'm a long-distance runner and that is how I learn about the cities I've lived in. I was a biomedical engineer and Ethnic Studies major in college so I've always been interested in the sciences, technology, other people's cultures and society. I am currently in law school specializing in asylum and immigration laws. I love big city nightlife... I could go dancing all night long but give me scotch (neat) or beer, pool, and darts and I'm a happy camper. Being from California, I also love the outdoors and occasionally go on weekend trips/hikes to random places. Because I spent some time growing up/visiting the Middle East, I have a weakness for smoking hookah.

PHILOSOPHY

Live long and prosper
