Joe

About Me: I am a grounded, debt-free professional working in financial services modernization. I am currently based in New Rochelle and am looking for a room in Manhattan or Jersey City to facilitate a 3x-a-week commute to the Newport area. ​Commute & Lifestyle: I am looking for a location with an easy commute to Newport, Jersey City, and I’m fully open to all forms of public transportation (PATH, ferry, or light rail). I value efficiency and a predictable routine. ​Financial & Reliability: I take my financial commitments seriously: I am debt-free with a credit score over 800. I live well within my means and pride myself on being a consistent, drama-free tenant. I am happy to provide proof of income and a credit report immediately. ​Habits & Home Life: ​Quiet & Reflective: As an introvert, I’ve traded the news cycle for Stoicism, Buddhism, and my daily NYT puzzles. You’ll mostly find me reading, listening to audiobooks, or organized in a spreadsheet. ​In the Kitchen: I’m mostly vegetarian and follow a Michael Pollan-inspired philosophy (“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”). I love cooking and baking—I’m happy to share the occasional loaf of fresh bread, and I always keep the kitchen spotless. ​Empty Nester: I am a supportive father to one son who is currently away at university out of state.
