Hi everyone, I am an intelligent, yet impulsive guy looking for a good partner to share my life. I am educated, patient, confident about myself, trustworthy, handsome (at least I think so!), and I own my own home. I love sports(mostly the Cubs, Hawkeyes, and Cyclones) music, and my dog Gibson. I love traveling and am making plans to go to England or Ireland next summer. I have been to most parts of the country except the Pacific Northwest. I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Seattle and San Francisco next summer. I am looking for funny, responsible women for a long term relationship.

I currently work for large insurance company in Des Moines. I have been there about 7 years now but have been contemplating switching careers or going back to school. The thought of spending the rest of my life staring at a computer screen in my cubicle doesn't sound very exciting. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, bike riding, and softball.

I'm a modest guy and but I have been told by a number of people that I am a really good guitar player. I have been playing for about 9 years now and have been in a couple of bands previously. Music is my passion and I enjoy going to live shows. I have also given some beginner lessons to students in the past. I played alot of baseball in high school in college so I can still showcase some skills on the softball field once in awhile.

I have a really sarcastic sense of humor and can usually find some humor in any situation.

Movies: I like too many to mention, I just saw Argo which was an excellent movie. I like movies with a sports theme and movies that have a historical concept.

Shows: I am an X-Files junkie and have all of the episodes on dvd. Some other shows I enjoy are Criminal Minds, Revolution, 2 1/2 Men, Rules of Engagement. I also watch the History Channel and Animal Planet alot.

Music: Pearl Jam, U2, Rolling Stones, RHCP, Counting Crows, etc. I could go on all night with bands that I like. I like alot of 80's and 90's music also.

Food: I have some pretty bad food allergies to gluten and lactose so I have to keep my diet healthy. My favorite meal would probably be a steak dinner.

1. My family-They have always been extremely supportive in decisions I have made with my life.

2. Friends

3. My guitar- I feel naked unless I have one close by at all times.

4. My dog Gibson-I got him from an animal shelter and wouldnt give him up for anything.

5. Sports- I am a huge Cubs fan and enjoy college football also.

6. My Car- Ive had it for 13 years now

What direction I want to go with my life. Im getting to an age where Im not real sure I want to sit behind a cubicle forever.

Usually checking out the latest movie or a sporting event. Iowa Cubs games in the summer are always fun. Im past the age of wanting to hit the bars and get wasted every Friday . Although I do enjoy going out with friends every once in awhile Im not a regular at the clubs on Friday.

You are looking for a great guy who is responsible, funny, and intelligent. If you enjoy music, movies, going out for dinner and dogs. If you like the Cubs that is an added bonus but not a necessity. Cardinal fans are ok too (;
