Hey there! I'm a native Chicagoan, having lived here basically my whole life, but I love traveling to see new cities. Maybe one day I'll get the nerve to move away, but for now I have some decently strong roots here.

In my professional life I'm an IT manager for a team that's scattered around the country, so that kind of feeds my travel bug from time to time. Recently been having issues with our main data servers that were just unplugged while operating, so still cleaning up that mess.

I'm an avid indoor rock climber, it's how I stay in shape and destress from the day to day. It's like a vertical, physical puzzle in trying to get up using only certain hand and foot holds. I'm also belay certified, which means if you ever want to join me and try out the wall I can make sure you don't die!

Like most people here I also enjoy online games with my amazing friend group. I don't really have a huge preference on which game I play as long as the people I enjoy spending time with are having fun with it too. It's a nice way to be social and unwind without making intensive plans each time. Current frequent games include Dead by Daylight, Overwatch, and Final Fantasy 14. We also watch some of the great new Anime series that's come out in the last few years.

Physically, I'm on the shorter and thinner side at 5'7" and 110lbs. I'd be called "petite" if I were a girl, haha. I'm white and I keep my hair long down to my shoulders. Happy to share sfw pics in chat.

I'm going through a divorce right now too. We're currently separated and waiting for the legal things to clear up. It's a complicated and somewhat painful situation, and I'm doing a lot of recalibration my life and my mental state to begin moving on. I'm open to things getting serious with someone new, but a lot of the failed marriage is still very raw so something light and casual but intimate is probably best for now.

Finally, I know I don't come off this way at all - but I'm a massive hornball. I get off on making my partner feel good and appreciated, but I don't think of myself as particularly kinky either. I'm the kind of person who would sleep with any of his female friends if the opportunity were ever there; I just love sex and physical intimacy regardless of relationship labels. Ideally you're also open to this aspect, but I am completely respectful of any boundaries you have there.

So that's me. I'm lighthearted and try to have fun and be funny wherever possible. Of course there's a lot more to me than I can possibly get across in this post, but I'm an open book if you want to read it. Deep, intellectual or philosophical conversations are my love language, and I hope to have them with you soon.
