Things I Like:
I love people - meeting people, getting to know people, and helping people. When I have free time I like to play outside, watch movies, sing loudly in the car while driving, eat good food, spend time with friends, read, swim in lakes in the summer, hike, play with kids, laugh 'til my stomach hurts, and explore the world.

Favorite Musicians:
The Decemberists, Patty Griffin, Rich Price, The Sweet Remains, Dispatch, Imogen Heap, Old Crow Medicine Show, Bela Fleck, Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett, Amos Lee,Martin Sexton

Favorite TV Shows:
The West Wing, The Cosby Show, Lost, Arrested Development, Psych

What I Do:
I work as a social worker in a hospital. I provide support and resources to families who are struggling with a hospitalization. In a typical week I listen, assist, laugh (a lot), get teary (sometimes), mourn, celebrate, collaborate, and advocate.

What I'm Looking For:
I'm looking for a partner in crime. I am looking for someone who is just as enthusiastic as I am about life. I am looking for someone with whom I can have good conversation - someone who makes me laugh, and someone who can be serious too. I am looking for someone who is fun to travel with and who also enjoys laying low. I am looking for someone who shares some of my interests, and who also has interests and a life of his own. In the end, I'm looking for a companion with whom I can share my life - the good and bad parts - and who is looking for the same for himself.

You Should Message Me If...
... my profile looks interesting to you and you think we might hit it off.

... you're looking for something more serious than a casual relationship.

... you can successfully and consistently type the full word "you" (instead of "u") when you write to me (yup - I'm a grammar nerd).

Drinks after work... then dinner if we like each other. :-)
