I feel like I'm back in high school with a "Describe yourself in 200 words or less" essay assignment in front of me. And English classes were not my strong suit ;) . Here goes...

I'm a professional in the Five Cities area. I just relocated here three years ago, although I've been vacationing here all of my life. Yes, I'm one of those Valley people ;). I love this area and don't plan on ever leaving it. I like to get out and take advantage of all of the hiking, biking, and gorgeous beaches around here, and I really like the overall friendly atmosphere around here. Indoors, I like to read, catch a movie. I don't watch much TV (can't stand reality TV), but I do catch some sports, particularly tennis and football.

I have two kids who live with me 50% of the time. They are great kids that make me laugh every day.

I'm intelligent, funny, hard-working, relatively good-looking, hate drama, middle-of-the-road on the outgoing vs. shy spectrum. You know, it's really hard to communicate a personality in a 2-D profile. If you see or read something about me you like, take the plunge and drop me a note.

Something involving conversation. What's the point in spending time together if you're not going to try to get to know each other? Oh, and bonus points if there is chocolate involved.
