I'm a very happy guy and approach each day with a positive attitude. I look for humor in almost everything as I think it helps to smooth life's journey. I love to laugh, tell knee-slap stories, and I do not take myself too seriously.

I'm the product of a wonderful Italian family. I was conditioned to believe in respect, kindness, and compassion. I treasure my family and a wonderful circle of friends, both whom I hold paramount in importance. I have three accomplished adult daughters that I adore. I have known both tragedy and success, and I have learned immensely from both. I appreciate good restaurants with a nice wine selection. I also enjoy cooking and do some really good pasta sauce recipies that I learned from my times in Italy. I'm witty, hip, and just a wee bit of a trouble maker in a fun way. I'm financially secure, but have found happiness in areas far more important than material wealth.

I love to travel, particularly to Europe and I love Italy. I have made frequent visits there and have been to most regions. I also enjoy tropical beach vacations. I enjoy being a do-it-yourselver and have become pretty good at project stuff.

I lean more toward traditional versus trendy, particularly as it relates to fashion and I have a good sense of what should be in my wardrobe. I'm opinionated and intelligent, but would never flaunt either. I offer stability and life experience that is not clouded with destructive habits. I mix easily, am a risk taker, and intimidation is not in my vocabularly. I have a great appreciation of the opposite sex and can find beauty in characteristics other than physical appearance.

I am interested in developing a long term relationship with a woman that would mirror some of my characteristics. That would include a sense of humor, interpersonal sensitivity, compassion, respect, and kindness to others. She should be someone that will peak my excitement level just from the anticipation of spending time with her.

I have a love affair with music, particularly the wonderful melodies written in recent centuries by the Italian masters, namely Paganini, Vivaldi, Verdi, and Puccini. I also love jazz, classic rock, reggae, rhythm and blues, and anything that motivates me to dance. Among my favorite musical performers are Bocelli, Brightman, King Cole, Mathis, Pavarotti, and Sinatra.

I hope what I have written gives you the sense that I am a quality individual. If so, please send on a message to say hello.

I'm very easy going and can appreciate all qualities a woman might have to offer. Therefore, I would be OK with anything from coffee, a happy hour drink, lunch, or dinner.
