I’m an easy-going, down-to-earth, Chicago guy. Very grounded, loyal, & fun! I enjoy being active & like to get outside every day. Love to travel & explore the globe – including the not-so-distant world around us: whether chillin’ in the desert or on the coast, wine tasting up north, or hiking or snowboarding in Mammoth. I’m adventurous & enjoy new experiences, but I’m quite content to relax at home, too… Watching movies, enjoying great red wine, or trying out a new recipe. Love to cook – though I’m still learning how to get all of the dishes to the table on time! Fortunately, it usually tastes pretty good, so it’s a win-win…
I’d like to find someone who complements me & who knows what they want. She would have an interest or passion for travel. Not judgmental… She’s thoughtful, honest, kind, supportive, intelligent, & fun. I’m looking for a partner & a friend, someone I can talk to about anything, who has my back as I have hers. She has an active lifestyle – or an appreciation of mine – and loves the outdoors. She appreciates the simple things in life, she challenges & encourages me, and she makes me laugh loudly!
