Leah Kasowitz
Team: Below Me
Bio: I am a proud 3rd season player on Below Me! After taking a season off to hone my skills, I’ve returned to the funnest team in the division with a newly perfected kick and, more importantly, a new power flip. I work in health care consulting, but that doesn’t mean I can, or should, diagnose any lingering cases of swine flu. My likes include: Watching movies, fruity girl drinks, running half marathons, and, of course, taking the balls deep on the kickball field. My dislikes include: scary movies, popped collars and guys who bunt. So if you are a nice Jewish boy or just want a nice Jewish girl you can take home to mom, start bidding!
Date: Movie “of your choice” in Chinatown with a Pre-Movie drink

Kathryn Keate
Team: Recess Raiders Reduxe

Kathryn spends her days uncover as a Human Resources manager for a prestigious local property management firm. This lucrative position allows her a spacious studio apartment (read: no roomates!!) and more imporantly a POOL. I repeat this woman has access to a pool – buy her! She may or may not be the craistlist killer but the danger and excitement is well worth the risk!
Date: Saturday all-you-can-drink brunch at Beacon Bar & Grill.

Whitney Graves

Date: Mini-Golfing at Haines Point and dinner.

Dave Dosberg
Team: Below Me
Bio: Come meet the Dos! What can I tell you about myself? Other than that I am a great catch! Born in Buffalo, NY; I have lived on the east coast my entire life. Going from New York to Maryland, Boston, and to DC. I went to college in Boston were I became an even bigger Red Sox fan! I am a fan of going to games and ready to see the Sox when they come to town this summer. Sports are a blast, but I also enjoy movies, outdoor fun, etc…
Currently, I am a government contractor (one of those jobs I can’t go into much detail about). I consider myself to be sociable, energetic, and a people person. I’m always in good spirits and have a smile to share, so come bring one to share with me.
Date: Ready for some fun in the sun? Do you like water activities? You can’t help but have a good time with me if you’re down for the excursion: tubing down the river with a cooler full of beer and snacks on a nice sunny spring day.
So grab your fresh sunscreen, hip sunglasses and your humor, if you want to have a blast since I am as wild as the river.

Aaron Lopata
Team: Danger Bangers
Bio: Haaaaaaave you met Pata? This very single, very successful, very disease free, very overly-educated young man hails from the Windy City but has transitioned quite smoothly into life in the District. The owner of his own condo, he works in for Executive Branch and it is possible that one day there will be a plaque in the White House of his face or possibly a whole room named after him. Aaron Lopata makes his own rules and then breaks them when they no longer suit him. On the weekends when he is not working as a pediatrician helping sick children become healthy again, you will find him out on the town pounding gin and tonics like it is his job. So ladies, if you want to meet that special someone, the surgeon general recommends that you take two doses of Dr. Aaron Lopata and call it a night. Just do not attempt to drive a car within six hours. Warning: Aaron Lopata can be quite addicting. Additional side effects may include tingling sensations and hot flashes. If your experience with Pata lasts more than six hours then don’t worry about calling a doctor cause he will already be there with you. Now who will be his next patient?
Date: How about cooking up something H-O-T with this doc? He may not be a Top Chef yet but he’s willing to learn! Join Pata Howser, MD for a cooking class of your choice and if it’s not successful, he’ll take you out to dinner after, so how can you lose!

Jennifer Lovino
Team: DC Indicted
Bio: Hailing from the second city, Jenny is nothing but a first prize of a date. She’s more David Lee Roth than Peter Cetera though, as you’ll surely be Hot For this Teacher! But it’s not just the kids that get schooled by this exquisite educator; she’ll teach you a lesson on the flip cup tables as well. As a diehard Cubs fan, she can ball too, with her date with you being “Baseball, Beer and Ben’s.” You don’t wanna be no uptown fool, let this teacher see you after school. Class dismissed!
Date: Baseball, beer, and Ben’s!

Chris Meawad
Team: FUCT
Bio: After living all over the place, including The Philippines and
Bahrain, Chris moved to DC six years ago. He’s working as a computer
engineer and owns part of a DC-based clothing company. He loves living
downtown because it makes it easy to do fun things all the time! Chris
will try anything, especially different foods and drinks. He loves
travelling, running, exploring the city, eating out, dancing, singing
in the car, and about fifty other things. But he’ll always be a nerd
at heart. He is always joking around and ready to laugh, and he can’t
wait to laugh with YOU!
Date: Convertible ride through Virginia wine country and a picnic lunch.

Grace
Team: DCafterFive.com
Bio: Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Grace is a one-of-a-kind ginger treat. Homeschooled as a child, she didn’t learn to play well with others – which explains her aspiration to be a politician. In addition to selling herself, the future Georgetown law student enjoys less-than-quiet nights at home with a box of wine and her snuggie, flashing her smile and other things at kickball Thursday nights, any meal involving potatoes, and priding herself in knowing that she single-handedly elected Barack Obama. So, for what will obviously be a pretty cheap price, let her grace you with her presence on a date to the Brickskeller for dinner and a make-your-own-international beer tour. Like a bar crawl, without having to move from your bar stool! Best of both worlds.
Date: Dinner and an international beer tour at the Brickskeller.

Kara Evanko
Team: That’s What She Said
Bio: Single and looking forward to a fun date… I wasn’t a marketing or english major, so writing about myself isn’t my forte. If you want to know my story, then you will just have to let me take you out to the ballgame…
Date: Nats game.

Stephanie Cunningham (on top)
Team: Recess Raiders Redux
Bio: Originally from Michigan, Stephanie now resides in Washington DC. She works in commercial real estate like 50% of the city, it seems, but is also attending Johns Hopkins in pursuit of her Masters.

This midwestern girl’s hobbies include playing BuckHunter at a local bar, darts (the non-electronic variety), or Nintendo’s Duck Hunt. Seems like this huntress is on the prowl – Grrrr!

A competitive girl at heart, she enjoys playing and watching just about any sporting event, especially football and hockey. When she isn’t lounging around in DC she loves traveling to exotic locales and topless beaches. Stephanie is also training for her first triathlon.
Date: Shooting Range at Bull Run, Dinner&Drinks at the Rookery (with Live Music)

David Ross
Team: Recess Raiders Redux
Bio: Having worked, lived, or drunkenly vomited in six continents and forty countries, “Chef” David Ross has recently relocated to DC. Rumor has it that he was deported back to the U.S. after local male populations felt threatened by his dashing good looks, spikey hair, and general charming-disarming nature.

Dave has only been in Washington, D.C. for two months having made recent trips to South Africa, India, Argentina, Belize and the most exotic location of all, Greenwich Village in New York City.

Dave is skilled at the art of thumb wrestling, air guitar, and is internationally ranked in rock-paper-scissors. During the day he is finding solutions to global financial problems and at night, under a full moon, he turns into a werewolf.  Dave starts and runs global companies and has testable solutions for solving global poverty, environmental energy independence, stopping the desertification effects of global warming, and has developed a fun yet illegal way end homelessness in America that he came up with while getting his first haircut in NYC (Note: He was not a werewolf at the time of the haircut). Dave loves monkeys, fears clowns, and is fascinated by midgets.
Date: Dave plans a cross-cultural and international date beginning with a visit to the National Zoo admire the international animal collection and concluding with a dinner consisting tasting menu from Dave’s mom’s cookbook (Yes – a real published cookbook). Chaperone provided upon request.
