About me

Life in St. Pete

By day, I build software designed to simplify complex systems—a career that satisfies my deep love for logic, problem-solving, and continuous learning. But when the laptop closes, my lifestyle shifts entirely outdoors. You will typically find me navigating a clear-bottom kayak around Shell Key Preserve, practicing at the St. Pete Shuffleboard Club, or hunting down the best street food at the Sunday Wat Tampa market.

I value intellectual curiosity, emotional maturity, and the ability to laugh when things do not go exactly according to plan.

I am looking for a partner who is genuinely excited about building a deep, long-term connection. You are likely someone who is highly self-aware, pursues your own passions with intensity, and enjoys deep, probing conversations over a clean cup of coffee at Bad Mother or a rooftop drink at The Canopy. Physical attraction is essential, but mutual curiosity and a shared desire for growth are what keep a relationship vibrant over time.

Favorite first-date spots

  • Bad Mother — downtown coffee
  • The Canopy — rooftop at Birchwood
  • Juno & The Peacock — Beach Drive
  • St. Pete Shuffleboard Club — Friday nights
