Moved to Portland recently and I grow fonder of this city by the day. I grew up in the northwest. The rain and clouds don't bother me, I actually appreciate the weather many days.

I initially created this profile for dating, now I'm honestly just looking for new people to hang out with who have similar interests, particularly music players and active/artistic personalities. Dating would be nice too, not a number one priority though.

Since I teach at a local high school I can't put a lot of pictures of my face on here, or at least clear pictures. I can send you a clearer picture if you're interested though.

Constantly learning and striving. Trying to find my next life changing event, seems like there have been a lot of them lately.

Hoping to get to know Portland as well as I can in a couple years, and then keep moving down the coast. Hopefully ending up in South or Central America for a long period.

Conversation, humor, writing, piano, cooking, biking, exploring, drinking, thinking, honesty, meeting new people, hard work, and introspection.

How young I look or my cheekbones.

Music I'm listening to lately:
Grizzly Bear, The Lumineers, alt-J, High Highs, The Dears, The Kooks, Cheers Elephant, Caroline Smith, Cody Chestnut, Yann Tiersen, Menomena, Romona Falls, Mother Mother, Broken Social Scene, Sleigh Bells, We Were Evergreen, etc.

Movies/Shows: Wes Anderson, older Tim Burton movies, Polish Brothers, Coen Brothers, Quintin Tarrintino, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones!, Louis C.K., FLCL, Miyazaki, and lots of other stuff.

Trying to forget my troubles and bury my soul. Actually, I'm usually getting through a long ass week and trying to work up the energy to get out and into the city.

You are genuinely looking to have fun and meet someone worth your time and if you are a person of the same interests and caliber.
