About Me

I'm me. People say I'm unique, and I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not. But I've never really cared that much what people think of me anyway, so it's cool.I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2004, and Ohio State (yes, THE Ohio State University) in June. I moved to Kansas City in September for a real job in the real world, and that's messing with my head. It's great so far, and if anyone is in KC and wants to hang out, drop me a line!

My Interests

Kansas basketball (Rock Chalk!), Ohio State football (OH-IO!), Chicago Cubs baseball, softball, golf, percussion, music, traveling, racquetball, squash, etc.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting new people in general. Well, not necessarily meeting them, but one you get past that early stage where no one knows what's going on, I really enjoy getting to know people. I like talking to people with different viewpoints just to see where they're coming from. And it annoys the heck out of me that I just ended a sentence with a preposition.
