I am a senior software engineer working in fintech.
My favorite pastime is sipping Americano at a nearby café while enjoying a book. I like to read about physics, philosophy, history (especially ancient), evolution and politics etc.
Some of my all-time favorite books are:
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
The Fabric of the Cosmos (Brian Greene)
The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
Consciousness Explained (Daniel Dennett)
The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)
Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind (Tom Holland)

I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

My educational background is BS in Chemistry and a Masters in Math and Computer Science. Most of my career has been in computer science. I ran a software company for 14 years and sold it. I subsequently got bored and gave myself a job.
Now my day job is web design. My nighttime passion is dancing. I devote much of my free time in dance practice as a competitive ballroom dancer I compete currently at the championship level throughout the US. I'm a former Stanford University adjunct professor where I taught social dance for 9 years. I also authored their social dance curriculum.
I enjoy movies/tv (esp. sci-fi), theatre (esp. musicals), occasional ice skating (I was quite adept in my 20s, but pretty rusty now), and chilling at a beach or retreat center. I use to do yoga, but not so much lately.
I also enjoy traveling. My last biggie was one month in Tawain. So inspired, I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese. I'm still pretty bad (我的中文不好).
I'm also bi-coastal. Until the pandemic hit, I'd spend a few months/year in Pompano Beach (South Florida) where I have a condo. The remainder of the year, unless traveling, I spend at my primary home in Los Altos Hills (Northern California).

My one tattoo says lots about me: "Tattoo!" Yep, that's my humor: quite intact -- even though life threw me a major curveball (a close encounter with a speeding drunk driver). I turned that around to focus on positives and share the wisdom I felt. Wrote a book for teens about inner strength.
I love real conversation. I am always gentle. Honest. Creative. Youthful.

I arise every morning before dawn in order to walk barefoot around Festival Park. To keep my mind from wandering, I sing Sufi Dance songs, including my favorite.
“Come, come, whoever you are
“This Caravan knows no despair
“Even though you have broken your vows
“Perhaps 10,000 times.
“Come, come again.”
I began this ritual in the summer of 2024, and skipped only the one day when a rainstorm scared me off. Now that it’s November, the frost makes the nail on the big toe of my left foot feel like it’s about to fall off, but I’m still out there. Come December, when the snows come, I suspect that my routine will change. Probably, I’ll sing Christmas carols.

Midwestern-nice homebody who spends most nights with a movie or TV show—horror and sci-fi are favorites. Books and music keep things balanced. I enjoy watching spectator sports, especially baseball, because I can’t play them well. Devoted dog dad to Gus, a mall pet store rescue who runs the household and is terrified of cats. I live in New Jersey and only want to date locally (Eastern PA is fine). Traveling is overrated.
Dry humor, low-energy evenings, good stories, and someone who can enjoy the same things without forcing excitement are my style. If that sounds like your idea of fun, we’ll probably get along.

Yes, true!
I am happily single and navigating life's adventures solo.
With no marriage plus zero offspring in the rear view mirror.
Speaking of adventures!
You will often find me soaking up outdoor beauty – it is where I feel truly alive.
While I appreciate the thrill of sports, my heart beats a little faster for the focus and artistry found in creative pursuits.
Now, here is a fun curve: I have developed a lifelong love for bowling.
(Though enjoying the lanes tends to be a rare treat...)
Rest assured, my monogrammed balls are polished and ready to roll – yes, bowling balls!
While I frequently enjoy strikes with plenty of dynamic pin action (Hubba! Hubba!) my daily life leans towards refreshing simplicity.
I frequently find immense joy in moments of casual relaxation.
I also wholeheartedly welcome spontaneity.
I potentially even entertain and enjoy radical impulse in unique and profound instances.
Ultimately, I deeply value vulnerability and the spark of genuine passion in life.

I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"

Learning from Others (Ming Dynasty)
货有高低三等价;客无远近一般看。Unlike your goods, treat your customers equally regardless of their value to you.
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

I like to be out and about in nature, especially by water: Lakes, rivers and the sea.I also like history and enjoy visiting castles, historic buildings, museums, art galleries. I also enjoy, spending time with family and friends, eating out, cooking, DIY
I guess alternative is a word I would use to describe myself. For instance, I don't watch television or listen to the radio on a daily basis, and would also say I am more into vintage than modern. I would also say I am creative and enjoy making and doing things.

Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

Easy going vegan for 15 years, and huge proponent of holistic living, diet, and exercise. Animal welfare, Big Pharma, animal ag, and planetary destruction is of deep concern to me.
I own a pet sitting/grooming service with a different twist. So unique in fact that the Times, CNN, and BBC did a feature story---very cool!
Critical thinker; informed, aware, evolved, committed, and compassionate, my greatest wish is for every sentient creature to live in peace:). Much more to talk about---
I don’t look, act, or feel my age, so let’s get that out of way!
Things I have a passion for: Music, movies, documentaries, animals, reading, warm weather/beach, new vegan restaurants, cruelty-free products, animal rights, visiting/volunteering/supporting farm animal/horse sanctuaries, classic/sports cars/dirt bike motorcycles/vintage shopping/flea markets, road trips/traveling, etc.

I'm independent, loyal, fun-loving, affectionate, witty, and love a good laugh. I can tell great stories about my four-legged patients and I look forward to hearing about the animals in your world! (I'm a veterinarian for dogs and cats, and love what I do!)
I can be shy at times but easily adapt to the situations. Enjoyable activities include camping, hiking, tennis, nature walks, and playing classical music. Movies or a night out dancing are fun, but I'm not a big partier. I enjoy different types of music, especially Enya, classic/soft rock, oldies, and instrumental. I like thoughtful discussions on a variety of issues. I don't much care for TV as I find my time better spent doing other things, but I don't mind watching a good documentary or even an occasional chick flick.
I consider myself a lifelong learner. I enjoy talking about issues surrounding animal rights, justice, medicine, & speaking in Spanish is always fun.
Qualities I value: compassion, emotional honesty, integrity & a good sense of humor. I can be either serious or silly. Let's make each other laugh!
Unlike some of my patients, I don't bite! :)
