First off, almost every woman has the same few questions in mind when they read a profile. So, I am answering "YES" to all the following questions up front:
1. Do I have a professional career?
2. Have I lived an interesting life?
3. Do I have far less baggage then 95% of men my age?
4. Do I know how to treat a woman?
5. Do I have manners?
6. Do I know how to have fun?
7. Are the photos recent?
8. Do I know how to be a "Man" without being an ASS$#%@ or spineless?
9. Am I confident without being arrogant?

I have always lived my life in a passionate and adventurous way. I tend to set lofty goals and give the journey and the destination equal importance. I follow my interests and always enjoy where it leads. My natural curiousity pushes me to explore places, people, things, cultures, and ideas all of the time. My friends and family say that I have a honorable and noble heart. I like to think and talk about things that go beyond this weeks US Weekly, but love to have fun and laugh.

I was born to pushing limits and boundries. I ride motorcycles, rock climb, skydive, whitewater raft, and try anything that I can just to be able to tell my future grandkids a great story. That is my drug of choice. I don't fall into molds very well, but tend to take pieces of a lot of types and mesh them together. I love all types of music especially when it is live. I would always rather be doing something outside. I am handy and like to build and repair things. I have done my own condo rehabs and vehicle customizing. Photography, scuplture, and books are my arts of choice, but I like it all.

I really enjoy meeting people. Checking out all of the subcultures and classes is a great way to open your mind and experience new things. There is nothing better then talking bikes and scars at a dive bar, sports with the jocks, sculpture and design with artists, history and science with academics, travel and adventure with the globe trotters, and business and negotiations with the professionals. The fun is jumping from group to group.

People that are a little more diverse and larger then life personalities attract me. People that can honestly be described as passionate, sensual, intelligent, individualistic, strong, unpredictable, has that certain something, and even eccentric. I love to have fun and am looking for someone that can laugh, be daring, but know when to be serious. They should still have more of an edge then the norm. Don't be shy and let me know who you are...

Spending the afternoon checking out the city (lakefront, street fairs, zoo, botanical garden, biking, etc.) then heading for a great garden restaurant (Cafe Babareba, Grant park, Greek town, Navy pier, etc.). Finishing the night by heading to a place to enjoy a lively atmosphere and some live music (Irish pub, End of Navy pier beer garden, blues club). Remember this is a first date so I would like to spend some time actually talking and finding out what type of person I am with.
