Thirty-something guy in Chicago doing the young urban professional thing. I play flag football and just started rugby. I hike and camp, watch weird movies, and weirder theater.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bake a pie, or change the oil in your car.

I'd love to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Just started learning how to box (would love some pointers).
