This is Michael, only his girl gets to call him Ian which makes him grimace and grin all at the same time. He's 43, an engineer but one that views what he does as creativity with a purpose so he has just enough of an artistic temperament to get along just as well with creative types as he would academics. In fact maybe better because he's more likely to find academics a bit dull. He's sarcastic as hell but generally means well, was born in Hawaii but lived all over as a military brat growing up. He went to college at M.I.T and then moved to New York and that's been that, so he's been around the city for around 20 years. I am open to just about anything for him; friends, exes of all ages, drinking buddies, people he argues with just for fun, whatever.
