In His Own Words
About him
When I'm not working in the thrilling realm of managing public finances, I am usually to be found painting and drawing, writing short stories and other works, swimming, dancing, running, and reading Arabic and Russian literature.
My main goal in life is to make other people happy. I'm much more of a giver than a receiver. At the moment, I'm just craving the right opportunities.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said that 'there are no second acts in American lives.' Personally, I feel like I am onto about my 17th act by now, and that can only be a good thing.
About his ideal match
First and probably crucially, I would be looking for an emotional connection with someone. Being kind, sympathetic, understanding, warm, funny, and genuine are all qualities that I would rate more highly than any physical attributes.
We do not have to start off liking exactly the same things, but I would prefer it if my match was open to the idea of discovering new things. I know I am.
Scrolling through your mobile phone instead of conversing with me would probably be my deal-breaker. Let's combat this degenerate social habit together.
