Hey everyone, I live in Roseville and commute back and forth between different schools in this area. As a result dating is difficult, hence why I am back on this site again. I teach American History and thus love that subject, as well as politics. However, I also love hiking and going out on the town. I love dating and meeting new people, and I'm hoping to eventually find that special someone, though I like keeping things casual in the beginning.

I teach American History at various colleges and absolutely love my job. Thus, though I technically live in Markleeville, I commute all over this area of the state, which makes dating a bit difficult. Hence why I'm on here :).

Teaching, hiking, cross country running, making people laugh, bitching about movies, putting my thoughts into writing, naming all the presidents in 30 seconds (I will only do this for certain people)

I've been told I have a "cute" smile, as well as a distinctive laugh

Books: I spent so many years in school getting my Masters' degree that most of the books I've read are nonfiction. Really, the only fiction I have kept up on is Harry Potter, J.R.R Tolkein, and various comedic authors. I can bit a bit of a geek, though I assure you I cannot speak Elvish or Klingon, nor do I own any such costumes.

Movies: Wow, way too many to name. I have closely followed the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises (both of which, especially the latter, have sometimes let me down), as well as the Bond films. I also love comic book films in general, though only good ones. Some of my favorite directors include Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Mike Judge, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, and Bryan Singer. Oh yes, and I love Pixar movies way more than a 20something man should.

Music: I'm an old-school '90's rock guy. Pearl Jam is my favorite, followed by Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soungarden, and R.E.M. I also own quite a lot by Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, The Offspring, Jeff Ott, and early Green Day, Weezer, and Smashing Pumpkins.

Food: I can be annoyingly picky but I love Italian in general, as well as various forms of rice, beef, chicken, and pasta.

Family, friends, stars (I like star watching), books, mountains, and (had to think for this one) seasons

For regular things my career, my dating life and my future. For more cosmic thoughts, the size of the universe and man's place in it.

Either out on the town, at the movies, or bored at home

I have a fear of thunderstorms. I can be more private but only if I'm comfortable with someone

You live in this area of California and you're looking for a decent guy to go out with
If you like hiking, star watching, or history
If you're hot for teachers (had to throw that one in)
If you love hanging out around Tahoe
