Short, snappy sentences only. Ready, go:

I read books. Good ones, embarrassingly bad ones, everything in between. I'll even talk about them with you. I brew beer. Mostly IPAs, because anything good enough to be a west coast cliche is good enough for me. I also drink beer. I don't turn my nose up at a Coors Light, but I love getting crafty.

I play sports. I run and bike and swim but haven't done all three in one event...yet. I'm also pretty damn good at shuffleboard. Fiercely competitive when it comes to inconsequential games, actually. You should be on my team.

Well traveled, but not nearly well enough. Comfortable in new situations, enjoy meeting people, and adventurous in culinary experiences. Love flying...hate take-off, like landing, always choose a window seat.

I'm a prank connoisseur. There is a man in my office who would probably kill me if he knew the things I've done to him. Don't worry, it's all in good fun. I'm very capable of empathy, but my sense of humor wins every time.

There's more, but if that wasn't interesting enough, more won't change that anyways. Nice to meet you regardless!

Young, financially independent, and curious...everything I'm doing with my life is focused on keeping those three things at the forefront.

The startup I work at got bought! By a big, soulless entity. So it's, ah...definitely a mixed bag. Good opportunity to make more money, but even better motivation to take my own entrepreneurial dreams and apply a little reality. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an inventor when I grew up. I guess I still do.

Bar tricks, limited but relevant kinds of dancing, cooking, remembering dreams, befriending animals, answering questionnaires.

Depends on the person. You'll probably hear me before you see me.

Catcher in the Rye, Great Gatsby, Lord of the...just kidding. Those are great books, but required high school reading on a favorites list makes me wonder sometimes.

I'll read any Neal Stephenson, Tom Robbins, William Gibson, Steinbeck...ahhh, you know what, just ask me. I love books, movies, music, food, and shows - in that order.

My friends, my bike, good beer, dogs, pasta, and good-tasting tap water.

the relationship between income and freedom. It's hard to seek enough of either without sacrificing both...but that doesn't stop me from trying.

having an awesome time. You're welcome to join!

certainly won't find itself on a public profile.

you're checking me out and not shaking your head or sighing. I'm not very active on this site, but I do respond to messages.
