My Interests

Love seeing live music, movies, museums, learning and going to parties. Who doesn't like parties, I enjoy throwing parties to and putting together rock shows. I love architecture (it is my job but I do enjoy it) Enjoy fall mornings winter afternoons. Enjoy calm cool mornings on a remote lake in the woods and listening to the birds wake up.

I'd like to meet:

People who enjoy doing many different things, someone who might like to go out on a hike one day, maybe enjoy creating a great dinner together and sit in front of the fire as we enjoy the meal, maybe the next day we would goto a concert or film and then go out an party till dawn. I enjoy meeting people that are always willing to at least try something once.
