My hobbies...I am into just about anything electronic, especially computers. I am an avid music fan...just about any genre you can list, but to paraphrase Duke Ellington "Jazz is my Mistress." I play jazz trumpet (not often enough to be good at it anymore!) it's my way of unwinding when I'm stressed. My favorite hobby, however, is endlessly spoiling the women I love. Oh and I am an absolute hockey FANATIC! If it's hockey, I'm watchin' it! For a living I train people how to do customer service for telephone help desks. I love my job...but I don't live for it. I try to do more than just train job skills...I try to train Life Skills. And I do wish I made more money doing what I love, so I am probably going to be hitting the job market when things pick back up.I love going to live concerts of any kind (My most recent concert was Incubus) but I don't get very many chances to go to them. I love going to the zoo (penguins RULE! I have a tattoo on my back of the Yin Yang made of Emperor Penguins)...I love taking road trips to nowhere in particular just to see what treasures I can find. I love to travel...especially on the company's dime!But I don't like doing any of these things alone. I need someone to share it all with me.
Oh...one more thing. If you still have the same hairstyle you had in the 80's...I am most definitely NOT interested...

Well...first date. Wow...been a long long time since I had to think about that! Most likely I would take my "date" to a restaurant...nothing extravagant that creates more tension I think. Maybe like St. Louis Bread Company (man I could LIVE in that place) or Trail Head Brewing Co. in St. Charles (ok I could live there too!) Or whatever my date would like to do.
