I'm a runner. I enjoy putting one foot in front of the other for, you know, 26 or more miles. Cycling, hiking, working out, all good but running is my first love and I'm training for the Boston Marathon in 2015. I'm also a photographer: it's artistic, everybody loves a great picture of themselves, and it encourages you to get out there and take a look at the world in a different way. I'm hard at work putting together my own company that combines these two things - exploring and taking pictures. Starting my own business is a lot of work but has been super fun, but it takes a lot of time - thus the online dating. I think my friends would probably tell you that I'm upbeat and like to tell a good story, energetic and full of life, and usually outdoors if I can help it. At various times in my life I've been a massage therapist, a ski instructor and a preschool teacher, but now that I'm an adult (ha ha) I consult and do technical sales for a startup while I start my own company. I make a damn fine impromptu tour guide for the city, too.

Just finished business school in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. Now starting and running my own technology and photography business. Holding down a full time job running engineering for a small startup. I also play keyboard for my brother's band from time to time.

Chivalry. Traveling light. Getting a spot on OpenTable. Running on an empty stomach. Home Depot. Taking life one day at a time. Skiing with borrowed equipment.

My business, red wine, the next beer I'm going to brew, my friends and family, and where to travel next. (Right now: Scandanavia).

Taking pictures, working on the business, working out, or out with friends.

I'd like a Golden Retriever, but my apartment won't allow it and it's too good to give up. For now.

My profile piques your interst. You like to stay fit. You're up for a running date. (Or cycling or hiking).
