I am divorced, and due to my former partner and I prioritizing our careers and other aspirations, we never got around to having children. However, I have always wanted to be a Dad, and I am hoping to find someone who shares similar values and such, with whom I can have a child and co-parent with. To be clear, I do not have any expectations that embarking on this journey with another individual will lead to dating or marriage. My priority is to find an individual with whom to be cordial, respectful, friendly, and collaborative with, as we work as a team to raise a child in the absolute best way possible.

I am a high school mathematics and physics teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, where I also coach the Math and Science Olympiad teams. However, unlike many educators, I do not base my entire identity around my career. Do not get me wrong - I absolutely adore my job and my students, but once I am home, it is time to live my personal life. That said, should we co-parent a child together, most of my evenings, weekends, holidays, and vacations (i.e., Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, Summer) are available for caring for, bonding with, and providing enrichment opportunities to our hypothetical child. Being an educator and a strong advocate for quality education, you can be sure that I will provide top notch homework help and educational opportunities!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading and watching science - fiction, fantasy, horror, and mystery. I also enjoy listening to metal, heavy rock, and jazz music. Additionally, some of my favorite places to spend time at aside from the movies and live concerts, include the zoo, museums, and taking hikes along the Chicago River Trail. In all honesty, I would much rather go look at animals, art, space exhibits, or dinosaur bones, than going to bars, parties, or sporting events. If I am at a social gathering, I prefer movie nights, game nights, book clubs, or trivia. I am definitely not anti-social, but I am a proud geek, hahaha!!

I reside in Chicago's amazing Lincoln Square neighborhood, and I have a spacious apartment, that would be able to provide a bedroom and a study/playroom for our hypothetical child, at times when the child would visit or stay with me. I am also near three beautiful parks, a spectacular library, and public transit (i.e., train), so I have easy access to and from downtown, which is convenient for making spontaneous trips to the museums, the zoo, the aquarium, and all those fun places.

So...tell me a bit about yourself! :)
