I am someone who truly believes in treating others as I would want to be treated. I am sincere and I will treat someone with respect even though I may disagree with them. I really enjoy being outdoors, I feel more at peace than in urban environments and am constantly impressed with how fascinating our natural surroundings are. I am also extremely fascinated by history and human behavior which is why I went into Archaeology as a profession, the seemingly endless amount of creativity of humans is inspiring to me. I use music and writing as my primary outlets for creativity, but my real passion is Saxophone which I've played for 15 years and currently play in a Rock and Roll band.

I am currently finishing my punishing-long Master's thesis and also work for an archaeological survey and excavation firm in northern Illinois. My goal is to find a job with a Forest Preserve of Park District within the next year and do public outreach and education programs to hopefully inspire people to care about our history and the prehistory of Native Americans.

Anticipating people's needs, listening, being the butt end of a joke and laughing it off, being clumsy, and making people smile

Love movies, all types. Silly comedies, cheezy action movies, inciteful drama, indie, and I'll watch a rom-com without complaining.

Music is ever-present in my life, if I am not playing I am listening, and if I am doing neither I am thinking it. Jazz, Blues, Folk, Early Rock n Roll, Classic Rock, Funk, Classic Hip Hop, Rap, you name it.

I love reading but lately I have not read many works of fiction, some of my favorite books are historical fiction novels about the Roman Empire and Marco Polo's travels around the world. I also like short stories and poetry but confess a lack of study.

At first when I realized I was going bald I freaked out and got really pissed, wore hats a lot, tried different things with my hair and then I realized I didn't need hair to be happy and I said to hell with it I never liked it anyway, never did me any good trust me, my high school photos are traumatic. Lesson is: be happy with yourself no matter what, in the end its what we do not what we look like.

You should message me if you're looking for someone who not only is looking to go out on the town and have drinks and get goofy but also looking for someone who can discuss current events, history, art, music, life, or whatever. Oh, did I mention I could cook?
