i'm originally from illinois and have lived here for 10 years now- time flies! lived in europe for 3 years prior. i think I'm pretty laid back and really enjoy the outdoors. i travel quite a bit for work so when i'm home it's usually spent outside with my two dobermans and our friends either throwing disk or hang out at the lake. i like to go camping and watch a lot of DVDs. I work hard and sometimes really look forward to winding down to a nice glass of cab after a long day. i'm creative and do a lot of cooking and gardening, hanging out by the pool with friends.
