I was born in Evanston, where shortly after popping out of my mom, was rushed back to the Northwest Side of Chicago where I got tall and a little smarter over 18 years.

After this time in schools, I went to college in Southern Illinois where I left finishing in Aviation Management, only to strive to become a decent comedy writer and a great standup comedian who would someday bring us all to the verge of laughter.

For some reason I am a Cub fan, though I have nothing against the White Sox, I love playing volleyball and the bass guitar.

I have been on OKCupid before, but have had a change in mindset over the last couple months and thought I'd see if there was any contrast or change.

I currently make a buck on freelance comedy writing and other oddjobs, as well as standup comedy.

I also really don't understand why one of my personality awards says, "More Cocky." I'm rather offended, actually!

I currently live on the Northwest side, about to move further into the city in about a month.

I can't dance, yet I will pretend with enough liquid encouragement. I am more of a neighborhood bar kind of fellow.

I freelance comedy write and do standup quite a bit for fun, and also like to play volleyball and go to the beach when it's sunny.

I ride my bike, but I do have a horseless carriage, and will probably keep it until I move.

...bass guitar, being a smartass, being shy when it comes to feelings, talking to strangers, losing my train of thought, high fiving, scuba diving, eating....

I'm not good at being controlled, knitting, training horses, growing exotic plants, speaking to animals, or staying home for an extended period of time.

My sense of humor, my height, my eyes, the fact that I am a guy...

I don't care for fratty types or douchebags unless I am trying to write about them and my dream of their nonexistance...

I can babble...

Tim O'Brien, Phillip K. Dick, Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein...

Coen Bros., Kubrick, Pixar, Tim Burton, Spielberg, Michael Mann, Linklater, Ridley Scott, Scorcese, Tarantino, Jim Abrams, Mel Brooks, Christopher Nolan...

Old Country, Jazz, Fusion, Primus, Rock, Metal, Hip-hop, Rap, Classical, Rockabilly, Classic Rock, Bluegrass, Blues...

Breakfast... I think I'll just leave the food at good ol' breakfast, though I do like my deep dish and pasta.... Breakfast.

Three sets of magical panda bear twins.

Quantum physics, why people act the way they do, why I am up so late, where babies come from, why I keep spending my tattoo money on booze, why people like strip clubs, how Jeremy Piven got his hair back...

Going wherever the wind takes me...

I have never ice skated, surfed, or snow-skiied.

...you aren't chicken, McFly!
