Bryan “Beege” Berry

문미르

I run two software companies and a nonprofit, but I make time for the special people in my life. I like video games, music, archery, and dancing. I think space, biology, biochemistry, politics, sociology, and some philosophy are pretty cool. I'm gonna save the world... after I save my sleep schedule.

In my own words 저는요

I'm just trying to make the world a better place than how I found it. I try to help people and believe that productive and kind together are possible. I'm a bit of an idealist, but I'm also a force of nature.

I'm terrible at small talk. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams. I want to know what keeps you up at night and what I'll need to take care of for you. Let's get excited about the cool things in life and make them happen.

I enjoy learning. I find the world fascinating. I want to help people and not fall prey to the bystander effect. I get excited about everything I could do and need to constantly remind myself of what I can do.

Love languages 애정 표현

  • Touch 스킨십

    A hand on your back walking through a crowd, sitting close on the subway, holding hands, picking you up and twirling you around when we meet.

  • Words of affirmation 말로 표현하기

    I say the nice thing out loud instead of assuming you know it. I’m specific — I’ll tell you what you did well, not just that you’re great.

Both directions, by the way. Tell me what yours are and I’ll pay attention to them.

Fair warnings 미리 말씀드리면

  • Very mild inattentive ADHD. I can be forgetful and fixate on the wrong things, but I've built up systems to manage it over the years. Calendars and alarms are wonderful.
  • My Korean is bad. I have to work on it to maintain my visa, but don't expect much.
  • I can get really excited about things, so don't be afraid to tell me to chill our ot calm down. I can handle it.

If you’re curious 첫 만남

My idea of a good first meeting: lunch, dinner, coffee, or a combination of these. I love interesting and unique dates, but that can come after the first one.
