I'm someone who loves learning, has a quick wit and finds a way to find the humor in everything and the good in everyone. Love music, thinking outside the box, and being creative...and have a background on Capitol Hill, so still need my fix of political "gossip." Love to travel, explore, and play my guitar (badly).

I'm laid back, engaging and can hold long conversations that make you smile AND think...on everything from history/politics/culture/music to why Honey Boo Boo exists :)

I have more layers than even I know about sometimes, and would love to find someone equally intricate who I could lose myself discovering and learning from...and just enjoying!

Brand new to Columbus (just moved here from Colorado for work). I know next to nothing about my new home in Ohio, but am excited to learn and meet some great people here!

Making people laugh, being genuine, creative, thoughtful and interesting

I polled some friends and generally got smart/funny, though my favorite response was "too funny to have a serious job"

...And I come up with LOTS of colorful examples/metaphors in conversation (I can mix metaphors with the best of them!)

Music, workout time, a good book, Red Sox baseball, curiosity, and someone to share it all with!

Lately, moving and unpacking...though generally enjoy a good concert/show, a relaxing dinner, good conversation, crazy random outing, dinner party, or just a long walk outside in the warm summer air.

That I have this profile...
