As a hobby, I'm a personal trainer (PRO Personal Training) and I have been since college. I have been into fitness since my early teens. In college at the University of Maryland, I majored in Economics, but I took classes in nutrition and fitness. In addition, I have always read everything that I can on both subjects.
After Maryland, I continued my studies at Drexel University in Philadelphia where I received my MBA with a concentration in finance. Currently, I work in Garden City as an equity research analyst covering apparel retail companies like Abercrombie & Fitch. In the past, I have worked in Cincinatti, Philadelphia, and I worked on Wall Street for two years. I was a member of the Analysts Society of Philadelphia and now I'm a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts. Recently, I took the CFA level 1 (Chartered Financial Analyst)exam and I passed!! On to level II .......there are three levels. Also, I'm a member of AIMR (Association for Investment Management and Research).
On a personal note, I love to read and to eat junk food on weekends, but I watch what I eat during the week. If I have a drink or two on the weekend, I like red wine, champagne, beer and margaritas. I like nature, fire places, and my passion is cars. I own a Corvette coupe and I hope to upgrade in late 2000. I love sports cars especially Corvettes, Porsches, and Italian sports cars. I dislike pickup trucks and minivans, but SUVs are cool. I would own one as my second vehicle for road trips. I like watching football, playing softball, golf, playing video games and going to the movies. I don't eat much fish at all, but I like shrimp (without the legs), but I'm open-minded and will try anything except raw stuff. I do like stand-up comedy and I like going to comedy clubs. My favorite comedian is Robin Williams and I like Dennis Miller's sarcastic humor as well. Personally, I can get kinda goofy at times and can definitely make people laugh.
I love the beach, nature in general, and the martial arts. One of my dreams is to have a house on the coast. As far as the martial arts, I have studied Aikido, Gojo Ryu, and Kung Fu (I plan to start kickboxing class very soon). I love most types of music with the exception of twangy country and most rap. I can listen to one rap song here and there if it has an interesting beat. Some of my favorite artists are Luther Vandross, Brian Mcknight, Seal, David Sanborn and The Dave Mathews Band. Also, I think that a lot of the alternative groups have at least one good song. I would have to say for the most part I love ballads and jazz and that they are what I've always liked, since my teens. I love adventure and experiencing new things and at times I can be very impulsive/spontaneous.
Physically, I'm just under 5'11", 185 lbs., both muscular and lean. I have wavy to curly dark brown (almost black) hair and medium brown eyes. I think that the thing that I am complimented on the most physically is my eyes and build.
I like wolves, huskies and large cats (leopards, jaguars).......that's the reason for the picture of the wolf.
I have too many emails to list, but you can reach me at [email protected]
