Life: I have had the fortunate opportunity to grow up all over this great country of ours. I have live on one side to the next to across the “big pond”. I currently call home in the Midwest...in the heart of Chicago to be exact. I have a wide variety of interests including live music, professional baseball, professional hockey, theatre, film, spending time with friends and family, the first cup of coffee, cupcakes, David Beckham, lazy Sundays reading with a kitty or two on my lap, Little Debbies (the salt of the earth), checking out new restaurants, writing, and just getting out and enjoying this great city.


Work: I currently work for a development house in the educational publishing market. In my spare time, I co-manage an apartment building.


Music: Well music... sort of a window to the soul isn't it? I like everything from country to techno...from Mozart to Moby... from good ol’ rock-n-roll to French pop.
