Born and raised in the Bay Area. I spend half of my months in Chicago for work. Living out of a suitcase isn't fun but the city is pretty sweet.

I have an awesome group of friends that I enjoy spending time with. My family (it's pretty large) is pretty nifty too.

I'm pretty settled in my career but still have goals I want to meet.

These days, I've been spending most of my time biking (just did the livestrong 70 mile ride but far from an considering myself an avid cyclist) or doing something outdoors (it actually feels like summer for once). I'm also getting back into muay thai (Thai kickboxing). It's been an on and off thing for about 7-8 years now.

Music: these days it's been Hot Chip, Rilo Kiley, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Lana Del Rey and others. I also put in some throw back tunes from dilated peoples, j5, nas, etc. I'm pretty open to all kinds of music as long as it's pleasing to the senses. On repeat: Dirty Ghosts, Gossip, Blind Pilot and Beach House. holla!

Food: I'll try just about anything. When it comes to cooking, I'm not at a point where I can just whip something up with random ingredients in the fridge, but i'm decent at following recipes! I do enjoy cooking a lot and the best investment I've made so far is a good set of knives.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about this, but I've noticed that my highest matches are from women in the east coast (primarily NY) and my enemies are from southern california. I clearly need to move.

i want a pet giraffe. I will adopt one someday.

You're looking to get to know someone new and don't mind that my profile content is pretty vanilla.

I spend about half my time in Chicago out of warrant and not because of a warrant. So I hope you'd be cool with that too?
