People who know me would say I am confident, intelligent, a good communicator, and funny. I believe humour is essential for living well. We should all be able to laugh at ourselves once in a while. I have an insatiable curiosity for learning new things. I am a creative person who is in a creative career that I love, one that provides new challenges everyday.
I have a passion for arts and culture, from visiting art shows, walking and looking at architecture, and seeing live music. I also love playing my guitars.
I have a great dog, Jake, a black lab, who I enjoy taking for walks and swims.
I love cooking, and am quite good at it. I can even cook lots of ethnic dishes. I don't participate in sports as much as I used to, but I still love to play and watch tennis, and watch NFL football sometimes.
I am attracted to a woman who knows who she is, has a spine, who's open minded, doesn't need a man for everything, is happy with what she does for a living, and has a good sense of humour.

My idea of a great 1st date would be sharing a nice meal with good wine, great conversation that reveals there is chemistry. I need to connect on some level with a new person. That would be great.
