I am looking for someone to share experiences and have fun together. I love to travel and I'm always looking for new places to explore. I'm just as happy heading out on a road trip or traveling internationally. I enjoy the outdoors: whether it's biking one of the local trails, hiking, camping, or just getting out. I recently did a hike of part of the Ozark Trail, and would love to do some hikes in the Rockies. I also did a 4-day Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu down in Peru recently and I am ready for another adventure. My ultimate goal is to do the hike to Everest Base Camp. I'm about the journey as much as the destination, and would love to find somebody to come along for the ride.

While I love being active, I can be just as satisfied relaxing at home, at the park, or watching a movie. I enjoy cooking and grilling in my spare time. I'm going through Bobby Flay's grilling book as well as Alton Brown's Good Eats books, and I must say, I've made some interesting things and used some ingredients that I never knew existed! My dog, Sam, is a Shih-Tzu/Wire Haired Fox Terrier Mix. He can be crazy, but mostly likes to hang out on the couch. I like spending time with friends, going to concerts, hanging out, and trying out new places in St. Louis. I enjoy the Schlafly Tap Room, Forest Park...I've hit the loop a bit, but I feel I've just scratched the surface of what St. Louis has to offer. If you know of some great places, let's explore...if not, let's explore anyway!

I consider myself lucky to have a job that I love and awesome coworkers. I consider the connection I have with my family to be one of the most important aspects of my life, and I am looking for someone who has that same connection. I am looking for a serious relationship, but I want to start out casual. I would like to meet someone who is smart, a hard worker and willing to try new things! I want someone who will be there for me and want to be there for them.

Well, I am a videographer, editor, and motion graphics producer for a large company. I love what I do. I usually work in the area, however, I have had the opportunity to serve as director of photography on shoots in such exotic places as, Dubuque, IA, Tulsa, OK, and DeKalb, IL!

Well, I'd like to say I'm a pretty good cook, but I'm kind of a geek about it. Right now I'm pretty excited about going to a book signing and talk with Alton Brown from the Food Network! (did it - it was great!) I'm good at photography, which I do a little bit on the side.

I'll need to take a survey of people I meet for the first time and get back to you.

I enjoy nonfiction books. I have a fairly long commute, so I will listen to books on the way sometimes. I like Modern Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, Boston Legal, Conan, Pawn Stars, Big Bang Theory, I like the food network...Iron Chef and Good Eats are two of my favorites. And I guess that leads me into my favorite foods. Right now I am going through Alton Brown and Bobby Flay's cookbooks and I gotta say, I'm hooked on a Rosemary butter steak and fried plantains that I made.

I thought I would never say this...but I'm hooked on my new smart phone
My Dog
My family
My friends
My bike
Good Music
(not necessarily in that order)

...where I am going to travel to next.

I don't know that I have a such thing as a typical Friday night. I don't think it really matters as long as I am spending it with good company.

Well, if I just threw it out there for everyone to see, it wouldn't be private, now would it!

You've gotten this far and you're still reading. I'd love to hear from you!
