I'm a native Portlander who, after 26 years (minus five for college), still loves finding new things to do in this city. I'm a lifelong musician, and I can't really picture my life without it. I've got a real job too, but it isn't anywhere near as fun.

In the Fall, my friends and I like to head to Corvallis most weekends to watch the Beavers play football. We also make a great bar trivia team!

I also just spent the last 30 minutes fixing a hole in my favorite sweater, so, you know, domestic skills.

I'm a software engineer for a major technology company in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. I'm also spending a lot of time playing music around town. It's a great hobby and I've met a lot of great people doing it.

playing the trumpet, finding interesting things to do, being an engineer, making my friends laugh

New song ideas, although I usually forget them by the time I'm somewhere that I can write them down :/

Either out with friends grabbing a drink, or at home with my Netflix.

I go to PAX every year. If you don't know what it is, you should look it up. If you do know what it is, bonus points.

You're an interesting girl who likes nerdy (but entirely sociable) guys.
