I asked my son to list a few things that he thought sounded like me and he said "Chewbacca! Chewbacca sounds like you!" So, I guess I'll have to fill this out myself.

I like to think that I am a lot of different things: I’m an IT Professional, co-parent to 2 amazing kids, a reluctant gym-goer, and more than a little bit of a goof. I wear my heart on my sleeve and pride myself in being authentic with myself and others. And while I struggle with not sweating the small stuff, I try my damnedest to remind myself that everything could always be so much worse.

I’m not much of an outdoorsman, but I love exploring cities and hunting for new restaurants and shopping. I like trying out new recipes but love using the inspiration I get from them to create my own more. I’m a sucker for witty banter and smart lyrics, and strongly believe that every car is just a portable karaoke machine if you have sufficient lack of shame.

I believe that emotional honesty, open communication, and no small amount of good-natured ribbing are key to keeping a relationship healthy. I think there’s nothing better than listening to someone talk about something they love and hearing their passion in the voice. I love small romantic gestures that show people that they’re noticed and feel the best moments in life are usually the simplest.

But most importantly, I'm someone who is comfortable in my own skin, knows what I want from life, and what I’m looking for in a relationship. And now I’m looking for someone compatible and reliable who feels the same.
