About Me

Hi, I relocated to Baltimore in February 2005 and I really enjoy discovering all the great places this city has to offer. I love music, pretty much any style goes, and if it is live and a sunny day in the park all the better. I also have a particular passion for Irish music. I play regularly around town but I left the full time band back in Cincinnati, so things are more casual these days.
I like to keep it active and you’ll often find me in the gym or just on a walk around town. I played beach volleyball over the summer and enjoyed another hilarious season of kickball in the fall. We were rarely the best team on the field, but we sure held our own in the bar afterwards. I'll try just about anything once, dog sledding (check out the latest pictures) skydiving, bungee jumping, paint ball, trapeze school (looked fun, haven't yet) so don’t hesitate to suggest something. I joined the Canton Kayak Club last spring, so lately I've been paddling and sometimes swimming in the harbor. Don't get me wrong, I'm not recommending the swimming part.
I’m a pretty relaxed and laid back person. I love to have a good time and while I may be a little quiet at times I am definitely NOT shy. I’ve done a lot of traveling, lived in Sweden for a year, and I’m not afraid to step off the plane into a new country, or step into a new place by myself, but I think it would be even more fun to share the experience with someone else.
