About Me

I do research on itching...yep, I'm pretty cool! If you get me talking about it, you'll realize I'm a total dork, but hey if you're not passionate about what you do, then why are you doing it? When I'm not trying to save the world from stratching, I'm traveling, running, laughing, dancing, skiing, cooking, and I'm gonna start biking...if you have a road bike you wanna sell, let me know.

Things I'd like to do before I die: Make a coffee table book of sunsets from around the world, travel to all the places I've never been (in particular: Greece, Italy, Alaska, the Carribean), go skydiving, go SCUBA diving, go hiking on a glacier, make an extended family tree, learn to speak Spanish fluently, run a marathon (just did that one, at least I can cross one off my list)
You Belong in San Diego
Laid back and friendly, you were meant to live most of your life on the beach.
You usually think everything is "all good"... except when the weather dips under 60F.
You stay classy - especially when you're in Tijuana! Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

Here's a few Milwaukee memories...Get Your Own! | View SlideshowFavorite quotes: - "To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing dies nothing, has nothing and is nothing. They say they avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot Learn, Feel, Change, Grow, Love. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves. They have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free." --Leo Buscaglia

I'd like to meet:

Friends, old acquaintances, anyone who loves to work hard and play hard, especially if it involves the outdoors, anyone who likes to shake their boo-tay (if you want to go dancing I will always be down)

Music:

Just about anything...my radio is on hip-hop or classic rock. Techno is great for studying and dancing. If I'm in the mood for something mellow...Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, The Garden State soundtrack, Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, Nora Jones. If I'm fired up...flamenco guitar, Evanescence, Blink 182, Offspring, Incubus, Kid Rock, loud angry music.

Movies:

Anything with Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Owen or Luke Wilson...Old School, Zoolander, Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Spanglish. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies...the cheesier the better, especially if there's high school romance involved. Other favorites include Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Big Fish, Requiem for a Dream, Good Will Hunting

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, the Bachelor, college football.

Heroes:

People with self-discipline. People who follow their passions.
