I truly am 24 going on 28 most likely.

Typically my friends tell me that I am "the nice guy" and I think I am. I love all four seasons in chicago, I definitely am one of the few who gets absolutely excited when it snows, after all, I can't wait to go driving in it to go skiing! Summer is equally as great, because it lets me get out and do stuff by the lake like relaxing, biking, volleyball etc. I'm also a big "foodie" so I enjoy grilling, the farmers market around the corner from my place, and finding new little dives that turn out to be great finds.

Im a professional photographer here in the city and absolutely love it. I own a fantastic studio in the city and it is truly an amazing space to work in and own. I'm very very passionate about my work, but I certainly don't let it consume me. Being a business owner is definitely difficult, but I enjoy every minute.

Food network is always on TV, and I am always drooling over the latest and greatest camera gear i see in photo magazines, its like my drug! I enjoy being an active guy, so I would love to find somebody to get out and about with!

I love being out, being social, it is Chicago after all, but at the same time, I would love to find a person that is comfortable enough in a relationship that doesn't mind staying in and just lounging around being lazy, watching movies or a game, or some show. I am not afraid to put the effort in to a relationship, and I would like somebody to feel the same. I have alot of friends...but they still are living the college dream, and i was done with that years ago.

Passion is important as well to me. Be passionate about something you do, or enjoy! I am tired of the bars, and meeting people who only want to hook up, or look for the next best guy to come along, because that is not the type of guy I am. I put 100% into my relationships, whether with a woman or with friends and I want the same thing. I'm also a bit of a romantic, so I would like that in a woman as well.

Hmm
Well obviously if i say what I would do on here it wouldn't be any fun, but I definitely love to do unusual things. Not always so extravagant and hokey, but if I can show somebody a part of me, or the city that they didn't know, then I consider it a successful idea. Whether it just be coffee and frozen yogurt or a fun dinner at a new hole in the wall, or a good walk or bike ride with a person.. anything can be a great first date.
