Hey! I'm a young professional living in downtown Washington, DC. I'm originally from Texas, but I've lived in a variety of fun places around the U.S. and abroad for work and school. I'm a former Peace Corps volunteer (Costa Rica) and Fulbright scholar (Spain), and I love traveling and swapping stories. Otherwise, I love keeping up with new movies, following the news, listening to podcasts, enjoying live entertainment, and drinking tons of coffee. I'm 35 and am also gay.
