I moved to Seattle from Los Angeles for a new job in July, and I'm hoping to find some fun people to hang out with. This isn't the easiest town to meet people in (read: passive-aggressive, socially cautious), so I figured I'd give this a shot.

I was born and raised in Chicago, I'm a huge sports fan (Cubs, Bears, Trojans), and I love to be active. I played a Division 1 sport in college, now I'm a runner and a CrossFit convert. However, I also love to eat (internal struggles, right?), and you're just as likely to see me on my couch with a snack and some wine.

I'm passionate, goofy, laid-back, fun, spontaneous, and always up for an adventure. I make a great sidekick, and I always try to see the bright side (though that doesn't mean that I'm 100% successful). I'm organized, I have my shit together, and I'm ambitious -- and I'm looking for someone who's on the same page.

I love traveling and seeing different cultures. I've been to 50+ countries and six continents (bonus points if you can guess which one I haven't done -- and no, it's not Antarctica), but I think a quick road trip is just as fun.

Other than that, I'm an open book! Feel free to ask away.

Making television happen, one morning at a time.

Oh, and sleeping while you're probably at work (and working while you're probably asleep).

embarrassing (and subsequently laughing at) myself, dancing like no one's watching (even if people are), and bringing a smile to someone's face.

I can also eat anyone under the table.

My eyes, or my smile.

Books: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, the Dan Brown books, the Harry Potter series, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, 1984, A Brave New World. I also love reading the biography of an important figure, then reading their autobiography just to see what they have to say.

Movies: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, My Cousin Vinny, Back to the Future (Part 2 is the best, clearly), Big, Shawshank Redemption, and I guess I'll throw in Die Hard for good measure.

TV: Where do I begin? This is actually from going down my DVR list: The Amazing Race, Revenge (!!!), 666 Park Avenue, The New Normal, Go On, Survivor, Modern Family, The Middle, Happy Endings, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Chicago Fire, Nashville, 30 Rock, Up All Night, Parks and Recreation, Revolution. It probably doesn't stop there, either.

Music: I'd consider myself a pop/top 40 kind of guy, but I like all types of music. When I run, I'm usually listening to rap. I have my secret collection of country that I like to listen to on a rainy day. I love a good beat, though.

Food: I'm willing to try anything and everything once. Weaknesses: chocolate, pumpkin, baked goods, hummus, cereal, anything BBQ. Dislikes: spicy food, cinnamon (there's a story behind it), cilantro.

5. Dark chocolate.
6. Trader Joe's S'mores.

where I'm headed next, and how to get there. I usually have a Plan A, B, C and D ready.

out having dinner with friends, or having a quiet night in and catching up on TV. Both most likely include alcohol.

I still have my stuffed animal from when I was a kid.

you're willing to meet someone new and grab a drink.

Or, if you know all the words to your favorite '90s pop song, and you're not afraid to belt them out.
