What's happening. My name is Koz, and I'm here to meet, and captivate, some human beings I've never met before.

I like traveling, meeting and talking to people, doing extreme sports like snowboarding and surfing, keeping in touch with my brothers and sisters back in the Midwest, riding my bike in Manhattan, and writing and playing music with my mate Jeremy. I'm a life-lover, so that's what I ask from my friends in return: a great outlook and a positive energy.

I derive joy from challenging people's minds in all walks of life and in many spheres ... A lame sense of humor bores me; I like people who have a quirky vibe and aren't afraid to speak their minds for the sake of honesty and an authentic laugh. This, coupled with good taste, is the essence of charm.

I want to get the most out of life, and the only way to do that is by being genuinely adventurous and enthralling. Going on spontaneous adventures like to Boston or the Caribbean. Why not? You only live once!

A first meet-up? First of all, the place would be interesting. Perhaps the zoo, or the park, or the beach? All good choices, and all great places to have some fun talk.

Of course, the dynamics of the date would depend on the location. I like zoos, because exotic animals remind me of other places and other locales on this planet, and my own love of traveling. Plus, zoos usually have great facilities. Maybe a coffee, or an iced cappuccino? All can be enjoyed at the animal house.
