Hi! I'm from Colorado. I recently graduated from an MBA program. I'm back living in Longmont/Boulder for the time being. I'm a consultant for a Tech firm. Most of my work is done remotely so I have a lot of control over my schedule.

So with that out of the way... on to who I really am:

I'm passionate about acting, comedy, travel, and food.

International relations and history have always fascinated me and I'm always up for a conversation about that, but if it isn't your thing I won't talk your ear off about it.

For about half my twenties I lived outside the US, in China, Taiwan, East Europe, and most recently Latin America. I was working for a company that was sending me around Latin America with no breaks to come home, and all of a sudden I realized "Wow... I'm sick of living out of hotels, I think I want a more "normal" life and am ready for different kinds of adventures."

Reading, traveling, trying to get back in shape after a couple years of business school all-nighters and pub nights knocked me off my game.

Even though I grew up here my social schedule isn't as full as I'd hoped. Most of my old friends have gotten married or are on their way to it, so they don't have the same free time that I do.

Being in front of people. I love presenting ideas, performing, and making others laugh. I'm fantastic at ignoring my tonal deficiencies and giving a rocking karaoke performance. I'm very good at keeping my word and sticking to schedules (and can lose patience with those who are incapable of doing either.)

I'm not very materialistic- most of my spare money seems to go into food and travel. I love adventures- I've spent about half of the last decade living outside the US (East Europe, East Asia, and Latin America) and, fortunately, am pretty good at communicating in other languages.

In Asia and Latin America my blue eyes get lots of attention. In the US I think people notice my deadpan humor quickly. I've been told I don't smile enough, and that might be right, but part of my reasoning is that my jokes are funnier if you don't see them coming.

Many Europeans have commented that I don't seem like the typical American traveler they run into. I usually smile and say "thank you," and don't inform them that that is sort of a backhanded compliment. :)

I love non-fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, Game of Thrones (books and television series.)

My favorite books, in no particular order would probably include: The Aubrey-Maturin novels, Les Miserables, The Dark Tower series, Guns, Germs, and Steel, A Hero of Our Time, and a lot of Tom Clancy's stuff. I also love non-fiction travel writing.

I love all different sorts of food. I lived in East Asia for three years and, unfortunately, that ruined American-Chinese food for me, but Star Kitchen in Denver is pretty good. I also love Japanese food, Middle Eastern food, Korean food, and spicy/strong things.

Exercise, the internet, travel, water (lame, I know, but I'm always hydrating), imagination, and laughter, maybe?

Where I want to travel to next. The pros and cons of traveling alone. Food. Books that I'm reading. Did all my friends get into serious relationships too early or am I moving too slow? Ya know, helpful stuff like that.

Well, if it's June 14th I'll be in the theater watching "Man of Steel."

Or I'm with friends, doing, well, something.

I love superheroes. The movies, the books, and I love Halloween because it's a chance to dress up like something from a comic book.

You should not message me if the first part of your profile includes something like "I can't describe myself...," "I'm a study in contradictions," or "OMG, my friends say that..."

But you should message me if any part of your profile includes information like:

... you like traveling without firm plans.
... you've ever dressed up as a superhero(ine) for Halloween (or would like to!)
... you respect yourself too much to lie to get someone else to like you.
... you like science fiction and don't care who knows. (or at least don't care about how much I like it! Seriously- that will never change!)
