Persona 1: Primary Persona

Stefan Kizmiaz, an aesthetical pragmatic [new photo]  
     

Stefan Kizmiaz,
32, enjoy quiet mood music, sometimes explores live jazz, and also likes music from the 50's and 60's. Well educated, and computer savvy, consultant who works for Accenture in financing/statistics, usually very busy. Financially quite comfortable, though not extremely rich. Tall, in good shape, likes to run in the neighborhood instead of working out in a gym. American, mixed heritage, but predominantly Jewish New Yorker. Would often go for a few drinks in the early evening. Likes to have some cocktails occasionally wines. Go to relax, perhaps with a few good friends or significant other. Have some conversation, then perhaps go out for dinner and/or movie. Likes Japanese food. But not Indian food. Used to travel a bit for work. Now lives in San Francisco... doesn't like to deal with parking problems. Doesn't like things that are not aesthetically pleasing. At the moment, no girlfriend. Used to live in New York and was involved with someone serious. But currently in a state of "taking time off to think about things." It is not his first time in such state. So often have friends from New York come to visit him. Last time went to Europe for a couple of years. Sometimes go out alone, other times with coworker and friends, especially friends from out of town. Has a Palm pilot with a phone unit. Goes to bar to meet people, someone that is usually introduced to him by friends. He is handsome, so enough times when he is alone, women come talk to him. But he is a little arrogant and is selective who he spends more time with. But he is starting to loose some hair, so he is a little upset about it. He wants to know what to expect when going to a new place. He needs things to be right at the right time, with the right person. Constantly weighs the pros and cons of any situation. Really look for atmosphere.
