Hello there! I currently live in Austin, though I am actively exploring a move to SF or Chicago as well. I'm potentially open to other areas as well, though would prefer blue cities/states. I'm open to a LDR for a time if there's intentions to close the gap.

About me: I'm 5'7, cat dad (two cats), and work in renewable energy trying to do my part to save the planet. I'm a pretty active and curious person and am seeking someone who is the same. I love to run, recently started getting into ice hockey, and generally love to explore all the things. New hobbies, traveling to cities or national parks, sampling new foods or restaurants - my interests are broad. I'm just as home at an art museum as I am at a national park. The world is big and I love learning about it.

Personality wise, I'm more on the introverted side, and prefer the company of smaller groups versus large crowds. Jazz clubs and dive bars versus loud, crowded spaces. I do enjoy a good concert or sporting event though. While I do love being active, I try and maintain a balance with some down time as well. I like to watch sports, game on occasion (mostly a casual gamer), and enjoy a good book with good coffee. I also appreciate a good movie and love going to the theater at least once or twice a month (no horror films though!).

I'm very liberal/left-leaning and would like to find someone who has the same values as I do. I'm atheist and while religion isn't a deal-breaker, I find I get along better with those who aren't strongly attached to religion. I also strongly value open and clear communication. I don't drink frequently, though I do enjoy a good beer or glass of wine (ideally paired with a good meal!). I don't smoke or do drugs, and while I'll occasionally try weed I'd prefer someone who doesn't do it frequently.

Feel free to send me a message or chat if you think we align. I'd love to hear from you!
