I am high-energy, stubborn optimist, and reluctant realist.

My Self-Summary

So here's to trying to summarize my life story in a short and witty fashion? I grew up in OC and a part of me will always reflect that (a penchant for sandals year round?). Recently I've been living in Chicago while pursuing a degree at Northwestern University and doing some professional theater in Chicago. To give you a laundry list, I love most everything. I speak spanish and some french, love russian literature, am a classically trained pianist, love any form of the arts, practice bikram yoga, love biking and walking at night, love the beach and bonfires and warm memories, grew up on a steady diet of disneyland and healthy naive dreams, a sardonic realist, and a subscriber to Nietzche. Recently I've moved back to California, and readjusting to life out here has been interesting - to say the least.

What I’m doing with my life

The question is really what am I not doing with my life? Earning a degree in Communications to eventually pursue a career in HR Consultation, performing in theatres throughout chicago (an avid lover of karaoke as well). I'm trying to learn as much as I can about myself through my friends, the choices I make, and the things I choose to surround myself.

I’m really good at

Conversation, socializing, schmoozing (it's sad, but a really useful skill to have), making friends, saying what I absolutely want to say in the moment, playing piano, being a boyfriend (I have stories, you'll have to find out more and maybe experience some of your own?).

The first things people usually notice about me

Smile, eyes, or hair. Then its usually that I'm not some ditzy pretty boy from California.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books:
1. Dosteyevsky - Anything
2. Alice Sebold - Lovely Bones
3. Gone With the Wind!
4. James Patterson - Anything
5. Marlowe - Edward II
6. Anything by David Mammot

Movies:
1. Anything old, classic, and amazing (White Christmas is a year round movie)
2. Murder/Horror Flicks are always great

Music:
1. Seriously, almost anything (country, pop, 90's pop, rock, rap, classical, opera, choral, etc.)

Food:
1. Super soft spot for really good italian
2. French Cuisine and a variety of seafood (mussels...)
3. Sushi
4. Fresh fruit/veggies

The six things I could never do without

1. Disneyland
2. Idealism
3. The ability to swing dance and salsa
4. A library
5. Cell Phone
6. My friends (a collective noun, but it works, right?)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Ironically, how to please the people whose approval matters to me, and how it conflicts with what I might dream for itself. Then I move on to how to follow my passions in a way that doesn't infringe on anyone else's hopes or dreams for me.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hosting a Fondu party while listening to tragic 90's music that reminds most people of years gone by. Or we're out singing karaoke at a fantastic corner bar, or we're out swing dancing or clubbing on the rare occaision.

Or going for a walk, spending the night talking, sipping on a nice pinot grigio or cabernet sauvignon blanc.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I sometimes have a tendency to people please (which could potentially get in the way of me being completely real/down to earth 100% of the time).

You should message me if

You'd like to get coffee, talk, and find things in common.
