I was born in Sweden and came to the US when I was two years old. My mother is Swedish and my father is Italian. I grew up in Newport Beach. I lived in Paris for two years in the mid eighties. I love France, good wines, champagnes and French food. I graduated from UCSB and have lived in Santa Barbara for a while now. I have a son who was born in 1999 and spend a lot of time with him. I enjoy travel, investing, dining with friends, camping and surfing. I'm a private pilot and fly out of Santa Barbara airport. I'm very active and outgoing but I also enjoy just hanging out and relaxing and I love cuddling with somebody I'm close with. I'm mechanically inclined and like fixing things. Very handy you could say.

I would like to meet someone special, caring and sweet but with at least a little edge. I really dislike drama for its own sake. I'm really open to new things and love experiencing them with people and especially a soul mate. A good sense of humor is mandatory and I love to laugh at myself and anything else that's funny. I'm very sincere, affectionate and honest and want somebody who is in return. I like being a gentleman and taking care if my woman.
