i never comment on agent profiles but for this agent I am b/c I was very surprised he requested any material, (not that I'm expecting anything to come from a full). Reason being his MSWL didn't seem like it aligned with my manuscript at all so I was very conflicted on querying him in the first place for ages. Writing that here in case its helpful for anyone else who is unsure. I'm very grateful nonetheless
