I am an easy get to know kinda guy who enjoys hanging with friends and spending time with my family. I am goofy at times and laugh just by the sight of someone else laughing. I have one dimple when I smile and I still can't find the other one.

I love my job and I am dedicated to it. I coordinate empathetic learning programs for jr. high and high school students during the school year and direct a leadership conference for disadvantaged youth in the summer. But I do know my priorities and when to have fun.

Road trips are the best! Whenever I have the chance, I enjoy the outdoors, fishing, boating, jet skiing and campfires.

Haven't missed a day doing something sports related. Watching Da Bears, hitting a Cubs game (I have no hatred for the Sox), playing a little football or coaching my basketball team (these kids are good! because they don't listen to me).

Chicago has like a million different restaurants and I figure finding someone special to go out to dinner with is a great excuse to try them all. I'm a master on the grill but if you ask me to cook something on the stove, you're going to get hamburger helper or mac & cheese. I boil water like no other so ramen noodles is another option. I have my steady diet of flaming hot cheetos and gatorade, which have to fall under some food group, right?

Would like to meet someone who knows how to have fun, laugh and smile too. A woman with goals and who is adventurous. Someone who is intelligent and I do not just mean book smarts. I like a woman who is independent but is not too big headed to be pampered from time to time. Please be honest with yourself and others.

Anything that would allow me to get to know her and see her smile. I don't like the movies since we can't have a conversation. Drinks and dinner is a good start. If the mood is right afterwards, a nice walk along the lake would be great.
