I'm not the best at being outgoing, but once you get to know me I am pretty outspoken and straight forward. I really respect people that are upfront and don't play a lot of games. I am looking for someone that I can spend time with in a upscale or casual environment equally easily. I am pretty multi-faceted and I would like the same in a partner.

I'm a Minnesota native, working as a Network Engineer for an IT consultant firm in the western suburbs of Chicago.

I like to problem solve. I have been told that I am good to talk to because of that. I also enjoy tinkering with gadgets and fixing things.

I have a very dry sense of humor, and love joking around once people get to know me.

I'll watch and listen to about anything. A couple of my favorites are: Top Gun, Kill Bill, Serenity, Apollo 13, and anything James Bond.

I am a big fan of John Grisham, Tom Clancy, and Stephan Ambrose as far as authors go.

I am all over the board with music. It really depends on my mood.

I'll eat almost anything except seafood. I do love trying new restaurants, wineries, and coffee shops. I am pretty flexible.

Coffee
Good Scotch
Friends
My internet connection (unless I am camping)
My phone
Curiosity

Everything. I'm curious about and interested in just about anything. I love learning, just not in a classroom.

I spend a lot of time with my friends, either out exploring different restaurants and bars, playing cards or board games at someone's house, or rollerblading if the weather is nice. Some nights I like to stay in and either read something nonfiction or watch a couple movies.

You want to know more. As I said, I'm not that great at talking about myself. I do much better with direct, specific questions than with broad ones. Feel free to ask!
