I am bright, creative, kind, caring, good at listening, and very passionate. I am very easy going, and a great guy - in all kinds of ways. I can live without watching sports. I love travel and exploring new places. Cruises are my favorite vacation right now; they are very relaxing, and you get to see and do a lot too (or not)! I really like music, many kinds. I like movies, getting together with friends, and conversation. I like going out to eat, eating in, or grilling in the backyard. I really enjoy a morning spent together drinking coffee and talking about anything. I also love conversations where you can take apart an idea or concept, and discuss the core causes and solutions. You can really learn a lot, and a lot about people that way. Most people discuss what happened and the problems caused. I love to know why something happened, and addressing concerns as opportunities. Nothing bothers me more than hypocrisy. Well aside from dishonesty that is. Hmmm... Maybe they are the same. I can easily talk high level with you if you like or when the situation calls for it, but I am not a big talker, or BS'er. I can also talk some smack and joke around at times too. I have been complimented for being a very good communicator, and listener. Most of all I like spending time with family and friends. I have also participated in a Christian mission trip for the last three years where we do construction of orphanages in third world countries. Wow! What an adventure. I have been to the DR, Guatemala, and this year we were in Haiti. I like to talk thru issues, and being open and honest is very important. I don't make people drag the truth out of me, and I don't like dealing with people who need to keep a lot of secrets, and are uncomfortable revealing who they really are. Nothing weird, just open commuication. I really think it builds trust. No game players, high drama people, or adrenalin junkies.

A great first date is on a warm summer day, walking around the Naperville Riverwalk, eating out, and finding out about eachother.
