I was born and raised in pa and went to college in VA. After college I worked for a large corporation which relocated me around the country every 3-6 months for 2 years. I changed careers and industries (among many other things) and now live and work in upper west side. This fall I began graduate school part time, between work and school time flies so I try and make the most of any free time I have!

I am very open, honest, and direct.

In general I have high expectations of pretty much everyone in my life and give them the same in return.

Friends and family are important parts of my life.

I value sleep but don't like to sleep in.

I love to cook, eat, and drink especially with friends and family. I'm not that picky but do just appreciate good quality food.

I appreciate simplicity.

I find it humorous that I am dating website that looks like it was designed by a 5 year old, but the concept of meeting someone without the usual social and chemical masks associated with the bar scene is refreshing to me.

Fun and casual, nothing romantic! Ideally there would be no cell phone fidgeting going on. After work drinks at a dive bar or coffee at Starbucks or someplace with real coffee, if we hit it off I would plan a real date.
