About Me

The prison psychiatrist told me to get out there and meet a nice girl, so here I am :) Ok, the truth is that I pride myself on being a good guy - that fact, I will admit, being a bit hidden behind a sarcastic sense of humor. But you’ve got to be able to laugh, especially at yourself. On the other hand, I take certain things very seriously, like being genuine, sincere, and dependable - most importantly, being someone who my friends and family know they can count on. I’m confident but not cocky, even though I’m kind of a big deal…oops, sorry, there’s the aforementioned sarcasm :) I like to goof off, but I know how to work hard. I have a great family who specializes in driving me completely insane, and a really great group of close friends – a few of whom I’ve even known since kindergarten. The usual “likes” apply: going out with friends, trying new restaurants, traveling, sports, music, movies, etc. Editorial sidebar: Is it weird that they ask you how much money you make?? (Ok, I admit it, I totally ran a search for girls who make over $100k). Sorry, back to what I was saying. Are you seriously still reading this? Chicago sports are in my blood - which means I like to suffer. No one believes me, but I really do like BOTH the Cubs and the Sox. Can’t we all just get along? Hey, after this past year we’re all miserable. I ride horses both for fun and competitively. I used to ride as a kid, and I just got back into it a few years ago. I didn't plan on it, it just kind of happened, and now it’s a big part of my life again. It combines three things that I love – sports/competing, animals, and being around good friends. I’m looking for someone genuine with a good heart. We need to make each other laugh, have great conversations, challenge each other (in a good way), and be there for each other when times are tough. I need someone who can give as good as she gets, and probably knock me down a peg or two every once in a while :) And, I know it’s cliche, but I’m looking for the real thing. Definitely do not want to just date. As a matter of fact, I sincerely hope that the next relationship I start will be the last relationship I start.
