About

I’m Meg – a Midwesterner who traded in her snow pants for perpetual summer. Living in Austin and looking for my prickly pair. Obsessed with my dog Moose, pool days, hot yoga and succulents.

Destined to be a career girl, I left my hometown in Michigan and crummy part time retail job to pursue a career in Technology at a company I had never heard of before in Boston. I didn’t know it then, but that day I picked up a winning lottery ticket – I love what I do. My career took off and soon brought me to  Austin, Texas; a dream come true for anyone who has lived through 25 consecutive winters.

 

Two weeks after I moved to Austin I became a homeowner, I got a dog for the backyard and now proudly own over 30 house plants. I embraced the Austin way of life, fast, including the part about Keeping It Weird, did I mention I have 30 plants?

 

I’ve lived in Texas for three years now and have been part of the its dating arena for the last year. And wow, it’s a rough one out there. My hope is to take a bad date, turn it into a good story and share it with radical honesty, deep candor, and a whole lot of sass. If I’ve learned anything so far about Dating Austin it’s you will need a sense of humor.

 

Here’s to the pursuit…never give up, settle, or stop learning about yourself.
