About Me

So, what’s a nice Irish Catholic boy doing on JDate? I was born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland. Went to NYC for college (Jesuit no less) and stayed there 25 years. Worked in the airline business. Socially, I seem to gravitate towards Jews. I didn’t really notice it at first but soon my little black book was filled with “baums” and “steins” with lots of “silver” and “gold” prefixes. Not sure if as a gay man I have a greater understanding of what it means to be a minority and that’s the subconscious point of intersection or if the intersection is about the Irish & Jewish love of irony. Sometimes I think I was a Jew in my last life or maybe I’m getting ready to be a Jew in my next life. In any case my Karma with the Jews is deep and strong. I ended a ten year relationship 18 months ago and returned to DC to care for my elderly father who has Alzheimer’s. Since then my Jewish Karma has gone into overdrive and it seems that a lot of the guys I meet are Jewish (lawyers….but this is DC). So far nothing permanent but I’m open to the possibility. I don’t want to give you the impression that I’m some sort of weird “Jew groupie” that only wants to date Jewish guys. That’s not the case. I also have a profile on Match.com and I do go out with “goys.” However, after several hundred thousand people (ok, maybe 5) told me to try JDate I figured why not.Jewish moms love me…..really. Your mom will forgive you and ultimately think you’re even more perfect than before for bringing home such a nice Shegetz.In the interest of full disclosure I must confess, I don’t like rugala or any of those dreadful desserts on Passover. Other than that, like you, I’m perfect!
