The old adage you have to kiss a lot of frogs till you find your prince rings a bell. In Sedona, there is a statue at the Tlaquepaque shopping plaza of a frog, which many single women have posed with. Tess Suchoff would be happy to find her prince, and she certainly is a catch.
Here is a little bit about Tess:
What is your full name?
Tess R. Suchoff
Where did you grow up?
Phoenix
How many places have you lived?
Seven
What makes you laugh?
The hilarity that ensues with my friends at any given moment – life is an adventure. Also, silly videos of babies trying lemons for the first time makes me laugh.
What is your dream vacation? Where would you go and for how long?
I would love to travel to a country (where) I don’t speak the language for three months and simply immerse myself in the culture.
What is your favorite Jewish holiday and why?
Ironically, I really love Yom Kippur. Kol Nidre and Neilah are my two favorite services of the whole year. Purim is a pretty close second though.
Why is being Jewish meaningful to you?
It’s an identity and a sense of belonging to something beyond myself. No matter where I’ve gone traveling, without fail, I always run into Jews and Israelis.
What is your favorite memory of your time spent in Israel?
I spent a weekend with my friend’s Gareen Tzabar (a program for lone soldiers) in Nahariya. They are all lone soldiers, and it was great to simply spend a few days with them. Also, I went hiking from Netanya to Hertzalia along the Mediterranean, which was beyond phenomenal.
What are you looking for in a partner?
I’m looking for someone who is passionate about who he is, what he is doing and who he wants to be. I also am looking for someone who enjoys a balance of going out and staying in, and loves being around people. In general, I’m looking for someone who is happy, driven and enjoying life and all the twists and turns that come.
What do you do for work?
I work at a start-up technology company in Boston (but return to Arizona several times a year) doing a bit of everything, making sure what needs to get done does!
What do you love about Arizona?
I love the beautiful landscape and the bright and bold sunsets over the mountains. I go outside whenever possible and love hiking on the reserves around Phoenix and up in Sedona. Also, the overall culture is unlike any other, which is a peaceful kind of place.
What are you passionate about?
I’m passionate about taking care of others, everything from cooking dinner for my friends to tutoring kids.
What is the most important characteristic in a person that you feel is important?
Passion
What is the last book you read?
Ordinary People
What are the top five qualities you are looking for in a
person?
1. That they are happy as themselves
2. Intelligence

What do most people realize once they spend time with you?
I’m a quirky, bubbly, creative type who always is smiling.
