Originally from New York, I’ve spent the last 14 years serving in the Army (12 years active, two years reserve), which has taken me around the world and taught me the value of resilience, humor, and making the most of every day. I am now back home in the city where I own a gym and nutrition store. The business has gone very well and I hope to purchase space that I am now renting this year. Back in the city I love, I split my time between the gym, exploring new art exhibits, and enjoying the quiet moments when I can strum my guitar.

I’m a regular at the Met, and there’s nothing like catching a Broadway show on a Friday night. When the snow hits, you’ll find me on the slopes—skiing is my winter therapy. I’m a big animal lover (cats, dogs, even the occasional rescue story), but currently, my lifestyle keeps me pet-free—though I’d love to change that when the time is right.
Fun Fact:
I once impulsively got married at 18—a classic youthful poor judgment moment that taught me a lot about what real partnership should look like. No kids, and I’ve grown a lot since then.

Ideal Weekend:
Morning coffee walk through Central Park, an afternoon exploring a new art exhibit, skiing upstate in winter, or a quiet evening with live music, good food, and better company.

I speak basic Russian. I was trained in the Army as a Russian language specialist.

Someone kind, curious, and down-to-earth who’s open to adventure but appreciates a cozy night in with music and conversation. I believe in honesty and laughter, and I’m looking to build something meaningful, not just pass time.
