Hi, and welcome to my OKC page. Go ahead, crack a beer. It may be a while before you reach the end, but I assure you it will be worth the no money you and I have paid for the pleasure of being here.

the short list:
-NPR voices
-cooking and food bloggery
-watching sports
-getting distracted from watching sports
-reading
-theater (acting, watching)
-nerding out on some board games
-running (after a year of bouncing from one injury to the other, I can tell you that foam rollers and deep tissue massages are where it's at)
-trying new things
-hiking and camping (which serve as excellent vehicles to the important part: bourbon around a campfire)
-biking
-being big in Japan
-producing the occasional mashup (#tokenwhiteguyDJdays // http://soundcloud.com/vonfunk)
-craft beer
-karaoke
-traveling
-volunteering (a.lot.)
-general dilettantery

If you have to go look up 'dilettantery', I'll wait... ... ... ...
Oh hi. Oh, no, it's not really a word. Try 'dilettante'... ... ... ...
Ok all good? Great! Onward!

I love my job, managing content and developing the e-learning strategy for continuing medical education at a very patient-forward medical society. I also volunteer on fundraising and program committees for local non-profits, and organize/host two fairly ridiculous annual fundraisers: an October costumed scavenger hunt to benefit the Penn State Philly scholarship fund, and a June Urban Capture the Flag event benefitting Alex's Lemonade Stand.

You got me. "What I'm doing with my life" is often "dorking out and loving it." Guilty.

Also sometimes I cook. And I used to blog about it...

Running, teaching, learning, referencing that thing from 30 minutes ago, empathizing, mediating, rug-cutting, haiku bombing, coffee drinking

My eyelashes--many people have mentioned they're pretty long. I tend to not notice until they fall in my eyes while I'm biking in heavy traffic.

Food: I have an insane recipe for Thai risotto w/scallops and I'm not afraid to use it.

Puns (very guilty)
Wild ideas that just might work...
New music
Running shoes
Good friends
Coffee. (I actually had "integrity" listed. Ironically that was the first to go when I realized I had left out coffee.)

At what age it's appropriate to buy a white linen suit and wear it everywhere. Also: social capital, fixes for public education, vacation, food.

Out with friends or catching a concert, likely having a few libations, or in resting for a Saturday long run. By resting I mean lining out business plans for crazy ideas, or responding to mad emails.

I have seen nearly every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And I liked it. What, like you don't have embarrassing little TV indiscretions?

Also, maybe I ride my bike through traffic standing up like a ten year-old.

You're down with a short, casual first meet-up. Let's just get coffee, take a walk, go for a run, check out a festival in the city for an hour. I'm always up for meeting new people I have something in common with, but let's save the classic "first date" for another time. After we've...you know...met each other.

You live in the city. I sold my car two years ago because I was never using it, and haven't looked back. I rent or fly when I need to get out of the city, and otherwise love walking, training, biking e'rywhere.

**Broad Street training over! ...ODDyssey Half training begun...so still up for morning/afternoon running friends.**
