I’m a high school band director in northern Illinois. I’m extremely passionate about music and all of the arts, and I keep them at the center of my life. I am always looking for a way to get out and experience the culture around me, be it in the city or the suburbs. Being a band director is a lot of work, but I love every moment with my kids and am lucky to be where I am right now. I love traveling, and want to see the world. What I really love is the idea of experiencing new things. I always want to get out and do or try something new. There is too much out there to just let pass by! I care about my body and my health, so I take care of myself and make an effort to lead a healthy life style (which is hard when you’re a teacher… There are donuts EVERYWHERE). I love running and working out about as much as I love just relaxing and watching movies. I consider myself to be an intelligent guy, though I’m always trying to learn and discover. I’m looking for someone that also wants to experience new things and doesn’t mind just getting up and going… Or just relaxing and talking.

I think that coffee is a great way to get to know someone a little bit more... Though I also wouldn't mind grabbing some bubble tea. Either way presents a way to try something new and just get to know each other a little bit.
