I'm a man constantly under construction - continually building myself into a better version of me: more muscle, more languages, more skills, more knowledge. The goal is to become a self-sufficient renaissance man . . . but of course with a few nerdy quarks!

Well, I'm currently in a PhD program studying politics. The goal is to become a college professor. I taught high school for a while and I really enjoy being up in front of the classroom explaining things. Can't wait to finish and be a teacher again!

I'm really good at school and explaining things. Conversation and coffee (or a really good IPA) is also a favorite of mine - working up the nerve to meet new people, or just get a different perspective on life.

Not sure about this one - it's hard for me to see through the eyes of others. If I had to guess, I think it would be my personality. I've been told it comes off as confident and charming :)

3 Favorite books - Catcher in the Rye, 1984, and Guns, Germs & Steel. Favorite movies: Fight Club, Casa Blanca, Top Gun.

Recently? Running for Congress (too ambitious? Maybe. But certainly too honest). Also, been reading St. Augustine's Confession - I'm deeply struck at the similar line of our lives. Uncanny. also, I've been writing a lot of letters to old friends – that's been really cool. Catching up by post – nobody ever does that anymore

Grabbing a beer with friends and playing darts at the pub (or curled up on the couch watching 'The Maltese Falcon' or some really classic movie

Honestly, I'm really looking for a down to earth girl who loves God. Looks are important, but personality ever so much more.
