I love anything relating to music or technology, and I put a lot of passion into everything that I do. I have a solid group of friends, and if I'm not with them, I'm hanging out with my sweet and friendly dog. I'm not into extreme thrills/sports but I do enjoy being outside, hiking, camping, biking, or just going for a walk. I like many different kinds of food, and enjoy cooking and entertaining. I've been a homeowner for over 6 years and plan to stay in the Twin Cities for the time being, but I would definitely like to travel and see the world. I'm a gentleman...honest, kind, compassionate, respectful, and open-minded.
