ABOUT YOUR WORK OR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:
I became marketing director for the Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, because I have so much respect for the organization. We foster a public image of gay men that isn’t about narcissism or reckless behavior, and once in a while I get a solo.

PLACE TO HANG
My living room with a bunch of friends, something to read or my TiVo remote

ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?
I’m a morning person in the way Dubya is a war veteran.

BOXERS OR BRIEFS?
Tighty blackies.

DO YOU EVER WANT TO GET MARRIED?
Sure. And by the time I’m ready, it will probably be totally legal.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?
I am a CSI junkie. (Nick, Eric, Danny, Don—call me.)

WHAT IS YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE?
Skim milk. I drink about three gallons a week.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT LIVING IN YOUR CITY?
The lakefront trail. It’s right outside my door, it’s a great place to train for the marathon and it’s usually packed with sweaty men.

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
Confrontation.

THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
I’ve checked almost everything off my list: Skydiving, marathons, triathlons, Paris, tattoos, unclehood, GENRE Man…I even got some of my suggestions printed in Hints from Heloise.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST QUALITY?
My steadfast refusal to use the word “mangina.”

WHAT TYPE OF GUYS DO YOU TEND TO DATE?
So far, the kind I eventually break up with.

WHO IS THE CHICK YOU’D SWITCH FOR?
Tina Fey. She’s smokin’, smart and extremely funny.

CELEB YOU’D LIKE TO SPLIT A SIX-PACK WITH?
Rusty Joiner. But I’d get to keep his six-pack.
