My Self-Summary

I grew up in the South, went to college on the East Coast, and now live in the Midwest. I love to travel: I worked as a travel writer in Belize and Thailand and also taught English in Africa. Now, I'm finishing my doctorate in Chicago...hoping to make a small contribution to a better understanding of and a better world!

I am independent, laid back, and have a dry sarcastic style of humor. While I do enjoy music and art, this should not be equated with ability to draw, sing, or play the didgeridoo. I'm looking for a cute, smart and interesting girl to go out for drinks, coffee, dinner, conversation, dancing, cooking, biking, sports, movies, music, or just exploring this great city.

What I’m doing with my life

Pushing the frontiers of economic knowledge...
a.k.a. indentured servitude
