I recently moved to Phoenix from Chicago. The move was a bit of a recet button for my life. I told myself I wouldn't spend my Twenties standing still. This is looking to be a great adventure.

I'm a lover of all types of music, especially Soul, Classic rock, Indie, and Jazz. I play guitar and bass, and have a bit of a thing for Karaoke. I watch a lot of movies (if you can quote from Lebowski, we'll definately get along.) I cook a lot. Barbecuing, mexican, indian, italian, making soups and stews, salsa, or just whipping up whatever is in the fridge into something unique and delicious...I honestly like cooking more than I like eating. I'd eventually like to own my own business. I feel like I should create something for the rest of the world and use that to make my living. Right now I'm building towards a few ideas of what those might be.

Women that interest me have their own opinions, are smart, but not pretentious, can laugh at themselves, are open to new experiences.

I work with my roommate doing home renovations. Since moving to the Phoenix valley I've been working on improving myself, inside and out. I also do sound engineering for a local film production company. Plus, there are a few other creative projects I do here and there. As far as what I'm doing on okcupid, I'm looking to meet someone like minded, positive and proactive to spend time with. At this point in my life I am wanting to try EVERYTHING. More than that, I'm trying to find the balance between following through with my plans for the future and living in the moment.

Cooking, giving advice, fixing things.

My hair, maybe?

Music, good food, friends, craft beer, karaoke, coffee.

Space, existence, six degrees of whoever...

Spending time with friends.

I tend to over-think things, but I'm working on it.
