I was born in Lakewood, NJ, moved to Israel at 13, and came back to the U.S. at 20 — so I grew up with both American energy and Israeli grit. I speak fluent Hebrew, I’m culturally Jewish (not religious), and proudly Zionist.

Today, I live in Hawthorne, NJ where I’m building something most people only read about — experimental physics and advanced propulsion research, including early-stage antigravity work. To me, this isn’t a hobby or a midlife project — it’s the opportunity of a civilization, not just the opportunity of a lifetime. When the research reaches phase two, I’ll be relocating to build a much larger full-scale facility. Where? TBD — because history isn’t built by playing safe or small.

Outside the lab, I’m a divorced father of two amazing kids — a 13-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. They’re my favorite part of the story. I ended my marriage because I refused to shrink or apologize for my work, my curiosity, or the scale of the mission I’m chasing.

I live for adventure — paramotoring, road trips, stargazing, exploring, hiking, and finding the edge of what’s possible. I’m serious when it matters, and playful when it counts.

What I’m looking for is a woman who is smart, emotionally present, and intellectually curious — someone who can dive into deep conversation, ask big questions, and isn’t intimidated by ambition or possibility. Someone who would happily nerd out on a science project with me, or get excited about exploring new ideas, new places, or new frontiers.

If you’re adventurous, affectionate, sharp-minded, and excited by meaning, mystery, and momentum — then we might be aligned.

Tell me the last thing you became obsessed with learning — that’s a far better introduction than hello.
