| Introduction | Moved to the Chicagoland area in Oct 2008, buying a house and settling into a house in St. Charles, IL in Dec. Funny, outgoing guy - adventurous. I like to hike, bike, run. Love to travel and wish I could do more (I think I've accumulated enough frequent flyer points to fly to the moon if I wanted to). My job has taken me to the UK, France, Denmark, India, China, and Mexico. I enjoy cooking as long as I have a good recipe to follow. I like sitting at home with a glass of wine and a good movie just as much as going out to the bars and having a few with friends. I love live sports and music. Running is a passion - I'll be running in my second marathon in June '09 in Seattle. I want to fit in time to do things that enrich my life other than the things I do at work - play guitar every once and a while, teach myself Spanish (but actually make an attempt this time), volunteer with an organization that makes a difference in the community, work a Sudoku puzzle every once and a while, yadda yadda yadda... |
