Simply put, I'm a nice guy. I’m also well educated, well employed, smart enough to say so and humble enough to admit I’m wrong. I’m a bit goofy, but have a great sense of humor. I'm outgoing in that I start conversations with random anyone in Wegmans, but I'm usually too shy to ask you out in front of your friends.

I don't see myself sticking-out in a bar full of average dudes, but I'm the one you want sitting accross from you in a casual restaurant after work. I shine in mostly-sober settings or in one-on-one/personal-time. And hopefully you'll find that I'm not bad looking, either!

I'm fairly traditional in that I like to hold your hand and walk you places, I open doors, and I won't argue over who gets to wear the apron. I'm kind of an oaf in that I won't notice that your hair is 3-millimeters shorter than it was yesterday or that you lost 2 pounds. But I will tell you that your hair looks nice and that your hip feels extra good today.

I watch very little television, mostly ignore pop culture, don’t much use a cell phone, and I don't have an I-pod. Without these, I can face the day with an open mind and better appreciate the good things around me. I do enjoy a good movie, but this isn't how I typically spend my time alone.

So what about you? The thing I most admire about you is the way you treat yourself and others with down-to-earth kindness and respect. You’re smart(er than me), sweet, a little on the shy side, but you standup for yourself. You’re a beautiful person who loves being treated like a lady just as you enjoy squishing mud between your toes. If any of this sounds familiar, then I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a civil engineer who would rather be a rock star. Either way, I intend to use the skills I develop to improve our world.

Thinking, caring, processing and kissing, and I can prove all of these!

I'm a trained problem solver, good with a map, and have great orientation in strange cities. I'm very musical, play many instruments, and am good at putting music together (need to find more time for this).

Probably nothing. I don't think I stick out in a crowd of people. But if someone watched me for a minute, they'd discover a great smile and friendly personality with a sarcastic/goofy sense of humor.

Reading:
Ode Magazine is the best out there. It's full of good news and positive inspiration from around the world (rich and poor countries alike). I read mostly nonfiction, mostly about issues related to sustainable development.

Movies/TV:
My alltime favorite move is Forest Gump. Others that make me feel good include Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore, and Ghostbusters. I don't watch much television, and really don't watch movies, either, when I'm alone. But both are sometimes a nice way to unwind with someone special.

Music:
I listen to all sorts of stuff, but my musical soul is stuck in the 90's (grunge/alternative rock). My most listened to bands include U2, Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, and Stone Temple Pilots. Music I own ranges from Mozart and Jesus Christ Superstar to Sevendust and Type-O-Negative.

Food:
I'm not a picky eater, but definately appreciate good food. I spent a bit of time in California where Mexican became a favorite. I mostly cook for myself and do alright. I'm not a gourmet chef by any stretch of the imagination, but I can throw something together that's pretty good for you and you'll want to eat. I don't have a diet, per say, but I am concious of what I eat, and take care to eat well so I'll feel great.

The obvious necessities, snow, sunshine, trees, guitars, and my very cozy bed.

I think for a living, and spend a huge chunk of my thinking time solving other peoples' problems. I'm a huge daydreamer full of my own ideas that mostly sit on the back-burner. I think a lot about developing a better world, and need to focus more on actually following through with this. And of course, there's all the personal day-to-day static like "I need to do laundry" and "I need to find a cute, sweet girl who cares about something and kiss her."

I have a great circle of friends and grab a beer with them once every or every other weekend. I'm not huge into the bar scene and do much better in sober settings where I don't need to be a total mockery to be noticed. Not that I'm not a total mockery from time to time, but I tend to be fairly well composed. So a Friday night can range from going out in Armory Square to going out in Wegmans to chilling with a guitar before falling asleep.

I return favors. Yes, those favors.
