I'm intellectually curious, love to joke around, and explore the world around me. What better way than with a partner in crime. Could it be you?

I'm a Marine veteran yet am no stereotypical jarhead. If we meet, you'll discover that I may be tough but I'm primarily sensitive and sweet.

I'd like to help make the world a better place since my arrival. Meshing interests in urban living and technology, I helped create and maintain http://nextSTL.com, an online hub geared toward improving urban life in St. Louis. Working together with many, we're making a difference in the community.

Also, I enjoy cycling with friends on Sunday mornings and then stopping for an enjoyable brunch along the way. Speaking of food, I like it hot! I once entered the spicy eating competition at Pearl Cafe and advanced to the highest level whereupon I discovered that it might be wise to sacrifice the ego in order to spare the body. That's right, I'm unafraid to admit throwing in the towel after ten minutes or so.

Or hey, maybe you're into personality typing. If so, I consider myself an INTP.

By day, a programmer/analyst for a Fortune 100 company. By night, a caped crusader?

Technology, photography, trading the markets. I'm no gourmet chef but perhaps I could surprise you.

Why do fools fall in love?

Goin out for great eats and a drink or two w/ friends. Perhaps a mini adventure or better yet, just chilling with a movie at home or at the Moolah/Chase/Tivoli.

I was adopted when I was three months old and have been searching for my biological parents for years. Of late, I'm getting very close. It's a bit like being a detective if you can imagine.

You have a sense of curiousity and wouldn't mind getting in a bit of trouble with me... Kinda teasing about the trouble part, though. I wouldn't mind building a great friendship that builds up to something meaningful and loving.
