Chicago, Illinois

I am a Chicagoan to the core, a pragmatic centrist; an engaged global citizen; and a public policy, news, and all-things-political junkie (sometimes a hack and sometimes a wonk). I ♥ passionate, clearly-articulated debate, people that can make me laugh, people that engage my mind, reading non-fiction, rigorous competition, military history and strategy, judo, playing softball & football. Watching baseball & basketball, the arts, rallying the troops for the big win as well as going it alone if need be ...above all discovering the common ground with people that don't share my own positions ...yet. When people say they "know a guy", it's someone like me they are talking about.
