Sarcasm is my friend, I'm honest, and generally a nice guy. Most people think I'm 10 years younger than I really am. I enjoy movies, witty banter, eating out, reading, working out, dancing, vegetarian cooking. I've been told I'm a decent salsa dancer for a white guy. I'm working towards a PhD, so that keeps me pretty busy as well.

I try to keep my life fairly balanced. School is really important to me, so I put a lot of energy into that, but I also value time with friends and trying out new stuff regularly. In general I like to be active both mentally and physically.

I tend to be toward the quieter end of the spectrum when first meeting people, but I have a dry sense of humor that comes out more as I get to know them.

I've lived in Minnesota for most of my life, but wouldn't necessarily call myself a Minnesotan. This is because: (a) I understand the concept of passing lane (b) I will actually talk to strangers, and (c) - still need to come up with a good one here, shouldn't take too long.

I'm in grad school working towards a PhD.
