Hi, there! I feel so much pressure to write something clever, but those sorts of things only come to me in the midst of some friendly banter, so you'll have to wait on that one. ;)

Let's see...I am by nature a happy, optimistic, confident, caring person. I love my friends and my family a lot and am so thankful I live near so many of them. I try to live life to the fullest, whether that be an evening in with friends or a Habitat trip to India (my most recent of many building adventures). I love having friends over to dinner and can't wait to have more space one day so I can have dinner parties more often!

My faith is really important to me; hopefully, it matters to you, too. At the same time, it's really important to me that I don't get caught up in the so-called Christian bubble.

On a more random note, I have a reputation for planning "spontaneous Saturday" two weeks in advance. My take on the whole thing is that it's important to make sure my friends will be free for whatever may come up that day. It's totally spontaneous, right?!?

For work, I am in marketing and love my job. It is the perfect combination of strategy, analytics and creativity. Plus, it's really fun to see a product I worked on in the store or a commercial on TV. During the evening and on weekends, I spend my time with friends. I am a very relational person, so you can often find me having coffee, ice cream or a glass of wine with someone I love. I also volunteer a bit on the side.

- speed oriented card games
- asking people personal questions
- convincing friends to go on crazy trips with me (building houses in Haiti or hiking through Israel)

Depending on the situation, it's one of four things:

1) My laugh - it is loud & contagious!
2) My smile
3) My eyes
4) My height!

1) My faith - life has it's hard moments and I'm glad I know God is at work
2) Friends & Family - mine are great!
3) Ice Cream! I really love it!
4) Physical activity - I love playing sports and being outside
5) Snail mail - who doesn't love finding more than junk mail in the mailbox?!?
6) A good challenge every so often - keeps life interesting!

Usually I am grabbing dinner with friends or hosting them at my place.

That comes much later...

You are excited to go on a date that could turn in to something great. And, if you are a strong, confident man with a big heart.
