I'm an easy going guy looking to make the most of life. I've gotten to a point where I'm pretty well established. I've been blessed with a good job, my own place, a loving family, great friends and opportunities to give back. Now I'm looking for someone special I can share life's adventures with.

I value intelligence and good conversation. There's nothing better than sharing a good meal with people I love and talking about the world and life into the evening.

I'm looking for someone I can care for who will in turn care for me. Someone I can take on an adventure (whether that be trying a new restaurant, hiking in a state park, visiting someplace new, checking out a street festival, spending a day out on a lake, going skiing, going camping or going ice skating), then curl up with at home to watch a movie or just talk into the night.

So if that sounds like your idea of a good time, say hi and tell me what adventure you've always wanted to go on.

I'm currently working as an engineer writing firmware for hard drives and contemplating some new career opportunities.

Let's see, some things that are keeping me busy: I'm planting my first garden this summer with some friends. I'm on a kickball and softball team. I help run a local non-profit. I just completely re-finished my basement (tore it down to the studs and re-built it).

The basement's been a lot of work, but it turned out pretty well. I'm glad to be done with it so I can go out and have some fun now that summer's here. I'm also looking forward to some more free time to get back into yoga and biking.

I'm currently planning a trip to India for this summer and hopefully another trip to Munich for Oktoberferst.

Finding something fun to do.

Fixing things around the house.

Thinking things through.

Computers.

Probably that I'm the tallest guy in the room and that I've got a big grin on my face.

Hmm, this could become a long list!
Books:
Anything by Terry Pratchett
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I usually read sci/fi and fantasy for fun, but lately I've been trying to read some more classical literature and informative books (such as the history of the middle east)

Movies:
Spiderman
The Incredibles
I'm a big fan of Super Hero movies, comedies and action flicks. I'm not a big fan of movies where you finish it and it feels like nothing has happened.

Music:
I listen to a lot of different music. Lately I've been listening to more pop, but I grew up on country and I'm also a big fan of lounge singers and the '20s style big band. I'm not a big fan of rap, hip hop and heavy metal.

Food:
I love to try new food! One of my favorite dishes is Beef Stroganoff. I'm a big fan of hot dishes, pasta, sushi, Chinese food, barbecue wings and my Grandma's home made chicken noodle soup. About the only thing I don't like is really spicy food. I can take a little, but don't see the point if the heat overrides all the flavor of the food you're trying to eat.
I also love to try new beer! I'm a big fan of sampling new micro-brews and meet with a group of friends once a month for a beer potluck.

I think this question's kind of silly. The actual answers (air, water, food, and shelter) are boring. 6 things that I would hate to live without are:

Family
Friends
My phone/the internet
A way to somehow leave the world better than it was when I came into it
A new beer to try
The Daily Show

What I want to do with my life.

What I believe and why.

What's going on around town and who wants to go find out with me.

Relaxing at home after a long week or having a drink with some good friends.

I'm really glad there are kids in the neighborhood I can use as an excuse to feed my snow fort habit.

You would like to go out and explore the world with me. I'm an energetic guy trying to make the most of my life. If you'd like to join me I'd love to hear from you.
