i thrive on creating and am an entrepreneur at heart. i'm open minded and like to make people laugh. physically i am into staying fit, but not one to be at the gym longer than i have to. i'm confident and outgoing, yet have my feet firmly planted on the ground. my interests consist of art, design, motorcycling, photography, reading, independent films, language and music. music is a huge part of my life and chicago is a fantastic place for experiencing it live. i enjoy classical, jazz (still trying to appreciate opera...ugh,) acid jazz, trip hop, retro 80's brit rock and truly independent music. my collection is ever evolving, but a random A-Z sampling is: album leaf, bowery electric, charletons uk, doves, esthero, folk implosion, gang of four, helio sequence, ivy, james, keane, loquat, my bloody valentine, neko case, ocean blue, postal service, ?, reindeer section, smiths, tahiti 80, underworld, verve, worm is green, xymox, yazoo, zero 7.
