I love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible enjoying them. Hope to find someone who might enjoy just hanging out. Car shows, and the State Fair are a must every year. My family is important to me and I hope one day to carry on traditions with my own children, but for now my focus is on building foundations. My career is my major motivation at this point; but I still manage time for being social. Snowboarding occupies most of my personal time in the winter season. Long conversations that stray far from the original topic and make you laugh til your heart stops are my favorite, ADD?? :) And if your still reading I am just trying to be honest, so if you think this is boring your probably not serious, but neither am I so lets talk.

So right now I am managing a restaurant here in St. Cloud. I recently moved from Elk River so I'm adjusting to a new place, hanging out and meeting people. Having graduated culinary school back in '05, I enjoy going out to restaurants, trying wine and anything new. I am very open minded, but have strong opinions, so challenge me; conversation has to be intelligent, but its nice to be with someone and nothing has to be said. I love animals, but sadly my apartment doesn't allow pets, so I have to go back to Elk River every once in a while to see my dog.

On a first date I would like to keep it casual, a restaurant not too loud, I want to get to know you. A first date is just for breaking the ice, if it goes well then we should try it again. I am always open to spontaneity, willing to try almost anything.
