I don't know how to summarize myself. I'm complex and full of contradictions and unique just like everybody else. I'm an extrovert until I'm not. Carefree until something gets to me. Active and outgoing and nonchalant until I think too much. Probably the way I drive says the most about who I am and it's not all good and some of it is getting worked on. And believe it or not I've got a great sense of humor. And less intense than this blurb might indicate?

I'm looking to spend time with someone smart, kind, and energetic; a girl who keeps her curiosity alive with a healthy sense of adventure and a thirst for new experiences. Someone who doesn't balk in the face of challenges or sincerity. And who knows what 'balk' means.

Casual dating is fun but ultimately I'm here hunting for girlfriend material. So let's eat a meal and have a conversation like real people cause why not? It could all be so simple.

I moved to LA from metro Detroit to make waves in the filmmaking and comedy business. When I'm not doing big jobs on small projects for kicks, I'm doing small jobs on big projects for money. That and corporate video gigs. So rest easy; I'm gainfully employed.

I love music but never learned to play an instrument as a kid so now I'm learning to play piano & the drums.

I'm putting a lot of time into carpentry lately. I find it invigorating and deeply fulfilling in a way that's got me worried for the sake of my career path.

I don't hike much, but it's something I want to do with the right company; bonus points if you're willing to come with me, because I miss Michigan's beautiful natural landscape and want to get up in California's too.

Listening, talking, driving, ping pong, handshakes, getting people together, building things, volleyball, swimming, getting all of the groceries into the house in one trip, making people laugh, drawing, writing, skiing, enjoying myself, triumphing in the face of adversity.

Lately it's my hair but for a long time it was my sense of humor and positive attitude

I'm no elitist but Culture matters to me, I hope it does to you to. Just, as long as you don't like country music we'll probably be fine.

Food: I know I'm the only one but I don't get down with sushi. Anything else is fair game.

My friends, my ambition, novelty, a non work-related creative outlet, something to read, and a dog and/or cat somewhere in the mix.

The big stuff like Life, Death, and Infinity but little stuff like potential side projects, or whether or not my life goals are realistic and attainable or some delusional grandiose pipe dream. Whether everyone at the bar checking their phone is just trying not to look lonely. Then I check my phone.

At the bar waiting to do comedy, at the movies, loitering on a friend's porch, at a comedy show, playing "Settlers of Catan", at home watching Netflix wishing I had something to do but not wanting to do anything, really.

Earlier in the 'favorite books' section? I should have put "Harry Potter" in there somewhere.

And then in 'favorite movies'? Yup, "Love Actually".

Which I guess is a lot like saying "I'm not going to admit anything".

You're smart, creative, adventurous, and have a fun sense of humor that strays into 'goofy' from time to time. If you're not afraid. And if you have impeccable taste in men.
