I never know what to write in these things, so I'll try to keep it short and you can ask me whatever you want to know. I'm 23 and live in Chicago. I'm originally from Baltimore, but made my way to the Windy City for school about five years ago and I haven't been able to leave since. I have a great group of friends who mean the world to me and I probably work too much.

The great thing about life is I don't know. It's something fresh and new from one day to the next. I know I work my ass off and I'm told that'll get me far. ha. I'm leaving the rest up to fate and we'll see where it takes me.

What I do know is that I'll have some great people to help me figure this out along the way. And, anyone that tells you they know what/where they're going with their life is joking. Life is something different, but always excting and there will always be things that make life something different than you thought it would be.

In the meantime, I'm putting my BBA in Marketing and HR Management to work until that itch to get a Masters grows too much to ignore.

an education - both the degree and the one that comes with life.

How I can make myself better, fun things to do with friends, how to be better at my job, what's next.

Either working, having dinner with friends, out in boystown.

I'm the type of guy that sometimes would rather do nothing but be a homebody -- have some people over for a mini-shindig, curl up to a glass of wine and a movie...you get the idea.

I don't give my heart up easily -- unless I know you well, I can be subconsciously strategic in what information I give you about me.

- You're looking for someone with a head on their shoulders. Someone funny, but real.
- You know how to have fun, but can be serious, too.
- You can hold a real conversation, but know when to let loose.

Really -- you should hit me up if you just want to know more. What are you waiting for?
