Family: I am the proud father of 2 great kids ages 10 & 12. They mean a lot to me and I am always trying to be the best Dad I can be.

Work: I am an executive at a financial services firm in downtown Chicago. My responsibilities are the head of trading and also I do a majority of the software development. It is a very interesting job that lets me talk to people all over the world on a daily basis. But it is also demanding of my time since I am generally at work by 5:30 am.

Hobbies: My year round hobby is working out and trying to stay fit. Once the weather improves I am on the golf course as much as I can be. I really enjoy travelling to unique places around the world.

Interests: I really enjoy going to Chicago sporting events. I try to go to as many Blackhawks, Bears, Bulls and Sox games as possible. I also enjoy going to Formula One races, UFC events and concerts.

Pretty much all of the above while trying to improve myself at every opportunity. Learn from my mistakes and move forward.

Everyday: Making people laugh until it hurts. My humor is witty, self-deprecating, dry and sarcastic but in a good way. Finding places without a map. Discovering interesting places to shop or eat. Figuring out how tech stuff works. I don't know why but I get it.

Work: My greatest strength is being creative to solve problems. I think out of the box a lot since the box can't stop my imaginative mind. I work well with people also and try to make my employees feel good about themselves.

My eyes and hairline. I truly feel that imperfect heads are covered with hair.

I love going to concerts and I listen to a wide range of music. Rock, pop, alternative, country and even a little classical. Way too many bands to list. My favorite meal is a steak dinner in the River North area but I also enjoy trying out new and original places. I can eat almost anywhere. I love almost any Will Ferrell movie. Classic sports comedies like Caddyshack and Slapshot I can watch over and over. Action/adventure such as the LOTR trilogy, Gladiator or Excalibur. TV shows would be original programs on cable, i.e. Deadwood, Shameless , Game of Thrones or Spartacus to name a few. The books I seem to finish are Freaknomics or Super Crunchers. I was an economics major and I work in the finance industry.

What rhymes with orange
Would the Bears be in the Super Bowl if Cutler didn't break his thumb.

Most likely hustling around with my kids and their activities or out with friends watching sports.

We can talk about it later...

You want to have fun with someone who enjoys making you laugh and smile. If you work in the Loop area and want to have a break from work and grab lunch I would love to do that also. Kind of breaks up the same old lunch routine.
