I've worked very hard to get where I am today. The only thing that's missing is that special someone to share all that life has to offer.

In addition to my full time career as a chemical engineer I also own an Italian restaurant in Naperville (most people are surprised to learn that I'm actually 1/2 Italian... guess it's the blue eyes and light brown hair??).

I take care of myself by working out 3-4 times per week. Staying healthy and keeping fit is important to me and should be important to you as well.

Friends would describe me as a fun, upbeat person, with a great sense of humor, witty, with a positive attitude and outlook on life, and having a strong work ethic. You'll find that I'm a Cub fan and Bear fan (wait 'til next year on the Cubs, right?). Things that I enjoy doing include biking, playing the piano, BBQ'ing out on the deck of my house with friends, driving downtown Chicago and finding new and interesting places to party and dine out.

I like a girl that takes care of herself physically, and is just as comfortable in a faded pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt (my fav), as she would be dressed up dining downtown on Michigan Avenue. With all that said, humility is a must.. I'm really not into drama or snootiness. Nothing turns me on more than a girl who exudes confidence.

You should enjoy walking along Michigan Avenue on late, lazy summer nites just as much as curling up in front of the fireplace in the winter with a great DVD.

I usually work out of my home, but when the time calls for it, I have an office in Oak Brook.. so I do get into the city failry often while also working around the suburbs.

I enjoy meeting new and interesting people.. but as for my soulmate, the bars is not where it's at. Drop me an email and let's see where it goes!

If coffee at a Starbuck's/Panera Bread is what makes you feel at ease, then hey, let's do it. If you'd rather grab lunch at an Applebee's, I'm all for it. The main thing for you to do is bring a smile and be prepared to have a good time!
