New and Improved “less is more” version … if you want the "more", just ask!

I am fun, open-minded, energetic, caring, and LOVE to cook. I have two great kids that I adore, but share parenting so they are only with me part of the time. (My oldest will still find the time to veto you if you are a Cubs fan. Sorry!)

I am a state-licensed drama-eliminator. (You can ask for more details later) It is challenging, rewarding, and pays the bills. I workout every morning and go to church every weekend: BOTH are very important to me, and both keep me grounded, introspective, and relatively stress-free.

I know how to enjoy life and have a good time. I officiate swim meets, cheer at baseball games, and won the "Charlie Brown" award on my kickball team. I enjoy new experiences and learning. I can laugh at myself and do so frequently!

I am very content with my life as it is, and only looking to increase how great it is. I am blessed to have a wonderful family and friends, but I am open to adding romance to my life. If I had to sum it all up, I would say that life is too short to hold back: work hard, play hard, laugh hard, and most importantly, love without reserve.

First dates should never be complicated! Something simple, like lunch in the park or meeting for coffee (make mine an iced tea, please!) is a great way to meet and get to know each other without overextending things.
