Let's start with music: My favorite group of all time is U2. Other groups of note are Weezer, Muse, Coldplay, DJ Tiesto, Snow Patrol, Aerosmith, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Snoop Dogg, but I also like dance music, techno, salsa, merengue, and anything with a fun beat!

My hobbies include reading, bellydancing, working out, playing on my trivia team, cooking, interior design, movies, and being there for my friends.

I'm a native Chicago girl, and currently live and work in the city. I am a busy professional and I love my job! I work for a bicycle company, and so I am lucky to work in a health-conscious, sporty, dynamic, and entrepreneurial environment. I love the Cubs, but I'm a bigger Bears fan!! My friends and I are into traveling, and we've recently been to Dublin, London, Costa Rica, DC, Vegas, NYC and Atlanta, and are always looking for the next destination....

My current goals involve improving my run, learning German, and starting my own clothing line.....although the last one might be a few years away! ;)

I like guys who are funny, intelligent, honest, athletic, motivated, and enjoy innocent flirting.

I think a first date should be all about the spontaneous. Go to the lake, play frisbee in the grass, shoot hoops, play chess in the park, check out that street festival. Have fun!
