Howdy fellas ... thanks for stopping by. I'm a chubby guy residing in west-central Ohio. 36, 5'10", 240, brown short/cropped hair, hazel eyes, 5 o'clock shadow or so.

What am I looking for? Friends from near & far are great, but dating (or something more serious) isn't out of the question if things are right. I travel often, both for work & pleasure ... so who knows, I may be in a city near you soon. I enjoy both quiet nights at home or going out on the town ... they're both great. I'm a pretty laid back person (albeit very sarcastic), and enjoy the company of my friends and making them laugh. When I'm not working, I'm usually found shopping for shiny gadgets that I don't need, adding to the DVD collection, playing on the 360, eating out any place great and plenty of other things that I could list, but won't for now.

Feel free to say hello when you see me online, or send an email. So don't be shy ... and thanks for reading.

First dates in my mind are quiet times out someplace ... it's difficult to have a conversation and get to know someone when you're screaming over loud music and what not. Despite enjoying a variety of movies, I try to skip them for the first date as well ... perhaps meeting up for dinner or some afternoon coffee to a walk or hike (once spring has sprung) to a few games of bowling (if your average is above 80, your ego will enjoy the easy win!) to browsing through the neighborhood mall, thrift shop or book store.
