Oh, joy...

Okay: I'm a native New Yorker. I have a degree in archaeology. I try to be laid-back as often as possible. Kinda cynical, kinda optimistic. Hopeless romantic. Witty and sarcastic. Lover of hoodies, Chucks, coffee, superheroes, and whiskey.

I am funny, creative, and loyal

Working in the marketing department of a small publishing company that specializes in children's nonfiction.

I also write. I've had some things published. I blog about movies, TV shows, and comics.

I'm a storyteller.

...knowing stuff. It sounds weird, I know, but I know a lot of weird stuff. I'm pretty good at Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit. I'm the guy my friends call when they need to know the names of the old guys on The Muppet Show or the name of an actor in an obscure TV show from the '80s.

That I am a big white dude?

After that, my eyes, I guess. I do get my fair share of compliments on my eyes.

Usually unwinding with a movie or my beloved DVR. Of course, I'd never say no to a drink with an engaging young woman. Just sayin'.

Sometimes I wish people broke out in random choreographed song and dance numbers that reveal their deepest secrets/fears/desires.

Also: when I write, I physically act out scenes--both dialogue and actions.

You're intelligent, geeky, dorky and maybe a little socially awkward. Or, at the very least, don't mind those qualities in another person.
