Despite what you might hope, I am not going to give it all away in this little box. Why spoil a good conversation?

What I will say is that my perplexing and interesting life has led me to this very moment, where before you, you see a charming and wholesome boy from the midwest in a rather interesting (and at times bizarre) combination with a vivacious and curious urbanite.

I am at times nieve, but never stupid. Yes, the blonde does get to me sometimes, but despite my often embarassing epiphanies, I am a pretty smart guy. A self-employed graphic and web designer, I am trying hard to make my mark in the world--one project at a time. I have as strong a head for business as I do for publicity, and I absolutely love what I do.

I am an aspiring (pesce-vegetarian) chef. Okay, so it won't ever be my bread and butter, but I love to cook. Perhaps because I take a decided interest in my health and well-being, but nonetheless, a guy's gotta eat! And why not have fun in the process?

I love to explore. Whether it's flying across the world to culture myself, or around the corner to a flick to expand my horizons, I am no stranger to curiosity. It is quite possibly the very force which led me to leave my roots and move off into my own. But despite my personal evolution, I am very much a product of how I was raised: determined, loyal and above all, kind. I just can't help it!

I love music and art, and I have a soft spot for change. My music collection is extensive and varied, with many favorites. My inspiration is often drawn from the great artists before me. And when faced with a cause, I am quick to put my talents to use for the greater good. God gave me my humanity for a reason.

Two words: hopeless romantic. Or perhaps not hopeless... :-)

People who are interesting, kind and know how to experience life with the windows down and the radio blaring.
