Hey there, I'm a chef, designer and an artist/painter. I'm working on my degree in Graphic Design, so I stay pretty busy. I'm almost finished with school, so it will be great to eventually change gears. I love working as a chef but art is my true passion. I really enjoy painting and exhibiting my work in local restaurants and galleries. It's nice to see something I've made interest or enlighten someone else in some way.

I moved away to New York for about three years. Since I've been back in Ohio, I haven't gone out too much to meet that many new people. I figure this is one way of doing it. I appreciate good conversations. It's refreshing when I meet someone that is on the same page and brings just as much to the table. I would like to meet a woman that is passionate about something, that likes good music, books, movies, that likes to go to shows, that can switch it up and have just as much fun staying in as she can going out. I'm pretty mellow and really don't like drama. On the other hand, I like to do things spontaneously, so it's nice when a woman is up for about anything. I like to laugh and I enjoy making others laugh. Sense of humor is a big one. I guess I'm a little picky, but I think we all should be to some degree. I look forward to meeting some interesting people on here.

See above, por favor.

Painting, making mixed cds, cooking gourmet, playing instruments, laughing, Art, etc. I would like to think I can do whatever I put my mind to.

Smile, eyes, sense of humor, or intelligence.

What's that song, "I need a lover that won't drive me crazy." PS. The personality traits below are un-freakin-true. Haha. I think okcupid is trying to punk me. Hmm.
