I'm Jake. I am an avid musician/music junkie. This thing happens to me every month or so where I walk into Albums on the Hill in Boulder, blackout, and wake up with a dozen records in my hand and an empty wallet. Can't say I'm mad about it. I moved here from Detroit about a year ago, and I feel quite at home out here. I like going out to shows, meandering downtown, and meeting new people. I am a die-hard brewer, and plan to craft beer as a profession in the not-so-distant future.

Working unfortunately. A necessary evil as they say. Squeezing as much in as I can during my time off. I'm playing music, going to shows, exploring Denver, pursuing greater knowledge, and drinking all the tasty brews I can get my mitts on. And growing my beard.

Rock paper scissors, cooking, skiing, directions, my job, losing my keys, writing birthday/occasion cards, drinking/enjoying beer, steering wheel drumming, Chewbacca impersonations.

My dashing good looks or my boyish charm. I don't know

How I can turn my passions into a profession. My scattered family and friends. How much I want a dog. Beer. Music.

On a side note, a shocking amount of women get this question wrong on here: Which is bigger, the earth or the sun? I spent a solid 30 minutes wrapping my head around the possibility that someone would actually answer "Earth" - Oi Vey.....

Listening to tunes, testing out a new recipe, with friends, having a strong drink, or out somewhere. Combinations of the above. Or I'll take it easy and rest up for an action-packed Saturday.

I own Scooby Doo slippers. Don't judge me.

You feel inclined to do so. I'm a great man looking for a great woman - pretty simple.
