I'm a 26-year-old bridge designer, born and raised in the 'burbs. I'm a lifelong Sox fan, and I love following my beloved Fighting Illini. I'm happily adjusting to life as a homeowner on the northwest side. I love throwing Karaoke parties with my nerdy friends in my new basement bar, and I hope YOU can drop by sometime!

I love to make music! But like everything else, I don't do it enough: spending time with my friends, ice skating, drumming, salsa lessons, karaoke, DDR, Rock Band, watching TV, seeing a movie, live improv, Ultimate Frisbee, 80's-themed bars, cycling, and TMLMTBGB are just a few of the MANY things I might be doing on a given weekend afternoon or evening. Or weekday, who knows!

I value a person who is honest, progressive, philosophical, and engaging. I love dating someone who is health-conscious, because I feel it rubs off on me! I value people who are confident but humble, and most of all I love to see those around me having a good time!

Message me if you are looking for a genuine, open-minded individual who has a passion for life! I hope to meet someone who enjoys urban life as much as I do and can expand my horizons of food, fun, health, and life. E-mail me and let's chat!

I think my ideal first date would be something causal, such as a dinner one evening after work. I love any opportunity to go to vegetarian-friendly cafes/pubs, such as Handlebar, Earwax, Chicago Diner, or any one of a multitude of amazing deep dish pizza restaurants. Activities such as bowling, ice skating, or rollerblading would always fun ways to meet, too!
