Hey there. So hard to describe yourself in 500 words or less. I am a teacher, hopefully finishing up my master's degree very soon and plan on pursuing a doctorate someday to eventually become a college professor. I have found, however, long term goals get sidetracked, but it is still good to have the goal. I am an avid runner, rarely missing a day. I love to hike. Visited the Smoky Mountains last summer and the Rocky Mountains this summer. I recently discovered that I love to kayak and play volleyball. I am really into music. I go to concerts often but rather enjoy a small, more intimate venue. I have eclectic taste in music from 90's grunge to reggae. I love the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, etc. I have come to a point in life where I am secure with who I am. I am not interested in dating many people but rather to find one person who I feel that connection with.
