I've been in New York City for four years now. I can hardly believe what a fantastic journey it has been, and it keeps getting better. I am still trying to figure it out, but isn't it all about the discovery? I moved here initially to be an actor but unintentionally transitioned into playwrighting and have really grown to love it. I live in Hell's Kitchen and think this neighborhood is fantastic. I am definitely a city boy. I have an ongoing passion for the study of the Holocaust. So far I have been able to find the positive to every dark time in life, and the few exceptions both stump and fascinate me. I just finished writing my second play and I am very excited to see where it goes. I spend my time with the amazing friends I have here and constantly being confused by the dating scene. I also work at the SoHo House in the Meatpacking District which has added a whole other dimension to my routine. I recently returned from being in London for five months to help open the company's newest venue. It was an incredible adventure.

"Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

I have amazing friends who fill me with love, but there's always room for more special people. As for a relationship, I am definitely interested. I just need to meet a guy who interests me.

I gravitate towards people who have something special to offer life... Intelligent people who both challenge and entertain... Democrats. Drop me a line and say hi. This city is an amazing place and I always love to make new friends here.
