I'm pretty easy going and always up for an adventure. I try to take people as they are, and I hope the best for them.

I'm good at finding nonsense to get up to and enjoy others who do the same. I like being out and about, trying a new restaurant or goofing off out of doors. In a strange twist, I also like sticking around the house and making a meal for friends or improving something. Also, nap... naps in the sun are amazing! With a summary like that, it would be hard to imagine something I don't like doing. "We could talk or not talk for hours."

I'm originally from TN, so you can expect some good old-fashioned Southern charm. Unfortunately, my mother beat the accent out of me. (She was from IL.) So, I open doors and instinctively try to fix whatever problem is at hand. Some people think that's nice and others probably wish I'd sit down and shut it.

I've traveled a lot and hope to travel a lot more. I spend a lot of time in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, where some of my best friends are. I'm trying to get out of the country once a year. (Do Canada and Mexico count?)

I spend a lot of my time outside hiking, biking, playing tennis - poorly, and trying sports a tall person isn't supposed to be good at. The winter kills me because I hate being inside a gym when I could be doing something fun. That said, pumping my headphones makes anything fun!

I'm not entirely sure what I'm on here looking for, so I suppose I'll know it when I see it. I figure dinner or a drink is a good place to start, anything else is gravy. Mmmmm, gravy. Did I mention that I love food?

I like spending my time with friends and family - they're both important to me. I'm also committed to my career, which can take up more time than I would like.

Most of my nieces and nephews are down in the Lexington, KY area, so you can find me there pretty regular. I'd like to say that I spend the balance of my time engaged in adventure travel, but that would be a lie. Though, I'm open to influence?

Geez, I'll get back to you. A person would hate to sound immodest.

I think I'm good at listening and I'm good at bringing balance to a difficult situation. I'm usually the guy people call when things slide sideways. I don't mind playing that role, but I'm not always looking to take the lead when I'm dating someone. 50/50 seems fair.

I'd have to guess, having never been on the other end of this one. I'd say from across the room you might notice my height. Come in closer and you might hear a crowd of people laughing at my rapier wit. Come a bit closer and you're far too close for comfort; please take a step back.

Honestly, I don't know. I'd like to think people notice that I'm glad to meet them and that I'm friendly. I'm not always sure that those qualities play through. At work I'm determined, in my social life I'm a type of shy that can look awkward.

Through the course of time my friends have noticed that I can be very protective. It takes a village.

I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction where books are concerned. Biographies are fascinating. I enjoy anything with a tinge of the absurd. I don't usually watch a lot of television, my DVR keeps me in Game of Thrones.

Some of my favorite books include Saul and Patsy, The Idiot, and The Corrections.

As for music, my taste is eclectic. I can listen to almost anything and enjoy myself. I do have to admit that I'm not a big fan of teen pop music. Indie rock, soul, classical, R&B...

As for TV, I'm obsessed with Top Gear. I'll take a hyper car, super car, or a car car if you've got one to spare... we can figure out some way to drive it fast or break it good. :)

A sharp knife... a thousand and one uses.
Cheese... throw some fruit next to it and you've got a meal of champions.
All wheel drive... you never know!
Gadgetry... if it has a button, I'm gonna want to press it. I would make a terrible president.
Goofy jokes... those are for me.
Room to wander around... I like to walk around the house when I talk on the phone and sometimes I get restless and start pacing. It helps to have somewhere to go.

Whatever is in front of me, whatever is next and things that have already happened. Isn't that what we all think about?

I usually spend Friday night out at dinner with friends, followed by a drink or two, and then home to catch up on sleep.

Or, passed out on the couch with the TV watching me.

...if you want to. Let's just grab a cup of coffee and go from there.
