environmental field - I had to change direction to be able to pay my bills. So I've been working in the computer department of a manufacturing company for the last five years. Never married - haven't been able to find "the one" yet. I have two nieces that I've spent a lot of time with over the years. I love dancing - swing dancing and salsa. I take a lot of classes - dance classes, computer classes, classes at the Morton Arboretum, etc. I have a home in Streamwood. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care.
