I am very liberal and educated with a BA in Semitic languages, BA in Classical Greek, Masters in Theology with a post BA option in archaeology. You may assume where this would lead but I will leave that for another time and another discussion if you would so choose to pursue this avenue. I must say though, that I am an agnostic, but have strong respect for others faith as long as I am not proselytized to.

Also, born in Chicago, I have lived numerous places so while I consider myself fairly well traveled, I prefer a slower social pace and am far more comfortable in a more bucolic environment.

I am new to the Minneapolis area, having moved here from Helena, MT a year and a half ago so with my somewhat shy demeanor I find it difficult to make friends with the more "Minnesota Nice" (read: passive aggressive) people. With that in mind, I do not know of many great places to go out on dates, especially in the winter.

I am a former smoker, drug/disease and most definitely drama free.

6'1" average to athletic build depending on your subjective view, two celtic and hindu religious tattoos that I got during college, blue eyes, blah blah blah...

I have been told my sense of humor, while considerably dry at times, is often bounteous. It takes a short time before I usually feel comfortable enough to share it though, as my shyness can get in the way of revealing too much about myself emotionally. Once I have made a friend, they are often solid in the knowledge that my loyalty is not to be questioned.

Friend references can be given upon request... :P
