I work full-time in networking / IT for a global consulting firm. I recently relocated to Minneapolis, MN after living 2 years in Atlanta, GA and 2 years in Boston MA, and growing up in Philadelphia, PA. I like to try new things, and travel as much as possible. I enjoy great food and wine, especially with good company. I try to stay active, and enjoy various sports and outdoors activities like hiking. Overall, I just strive to be well-rounded, to always improve, and to seek what makes me happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books...I usually am drawn to non-fiction that has a story to it and lets me learn something new, but I'll check out a good novel from time to time. Some memorable titles are: atonement, the bone woman, first they killed my father, why they kill, the motorcycle diaries, the omnivore's dilemma, guns germs & steel, the kiterunner
Music: my music collection sounds like it has multiple personalities.
Movies: either really funny or really depressing. must evoke extreme emotional response.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kinda cool thing: I’ve been to weddings in 6 different countries; US, Mexico, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really sure what to put in this section...
I have taught gymnastics off and on for 12 years, so that's something. I could teach you how to do a backbend or a forward roll :)
