I want to see the world, but seeing the world is more fun when you have someone to share those experiences with. I know what I want to do with my life and I'm working hard to achieve it. I work and go to school up in Bellevue, but I live in the south end, at least for right now. While I maintain a hardworking profile during most of the week, when it comes to the weekends, I love to live it up.

Weekends come and I enjoy going out to the local pub to listen to live music. I may end up at Nectar to rock out to a local band or even down at Highway 99 to hear a blues band. I love doing this because you get exposed to so many interesting people and things you wouldn't have known about otherwise.

I also love photography. I may not be the next Ansel Adams, but people say I do good work. I love going out to explore new places, ghost towns, hiking, wherever my adventure may lead me to take pictures of the landscapes and everything else.

In the evenings, I love to cook. My specialty is a lasagna that everybody keeps telling me to make again and again. I love to cook for my friends and family, and very few things can top a home cooked meal and then sitting down and watching a movie on the big screen.

I'm not really a big fan of email as a way to get to know people. There is usually too much of a delay between the send and reply of the emails to keep a really good conversation going and everybodys mood varies by day. Also, I send out a million emails a day at work so I wind up accidentally falling into "deal with the whiny client" mode without realizing it.

Also, I'm not here specifically for dating, but also making new friends. However, since it will only allow me to select one thing, Dating seemed to be the best choice.

Movies make horrible first dates, so let's do something casual and fun. Shooting pool is a good choice or if you are into photography, let's go out and take some pictures around Seattle.
