I am emphatic, inquisitive, and candid.
My Self-Summary
i'm originally from wisconsin and love close to everything
associated with it: beer, cheese, brewers, packers, bubblers, and
tyme machines (i'm willing to elaborate on any of these, if an
explanation is needed). i enjoy being outdoors whether that means
playing volleyball, rollerblading, hiking, camping, attending the
many festivals the city has to offer, or soaking up the rays while
enjoying a cool beverage on a patio.
** COOL WEATHER EDIT **
layered clothes, hot chamomile tea, and cuddling are perks of
colder weather. i can only run when it's not hot out, so i may
train for another small race. it's also nice to leave the window
open at night then burrow underneath a pile of blankets!
What I’m doing with my life
overall, i'm just trying to enjoy it! some times i can get so
bogged down by things i forget to sit back and enjoy the ride. i
oversee the residence halls at a university, have amazing friends,
and take advantage of living in the city. now is about the time
when i need to get more serious and figure out the next step:
another degree of some sort, moving up the ladder at work, or just
plain ol' moving some where new.
I’m really good at
listening.
following through.
cheering on the pack and brew crew.
keeping it real.
being independent.
motivating others.
creating lists.
being me.
The first things people usually notice about me

hope
I spend a lot of time thinking about
why people do what they do. we all have different motivations and
values that drive us, and it intrigues me to learn about what
ignites others' behaviors.
On a typical Friday night I am
who knows?
trying out a new pub...
driving to milwaukee for a brewers game (in season)...
playing cards with friends...
laying low at home...
going out of town...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
i am a reality tv show junkie and tivo can be my best friend during
some times of the year. i'm not proud of it but feel it's only fair
for me to let you know now.
You should message me if
you own a puppy.
you have an appreciation for puzzles.
you dig photography.
you don't eat meat.
you traveled to all fifty states.
you wish you knew me.
hopefully if you were looking for a reason to message me, the last
one works.
