Hi,
Thank you for stopping by. I'm a very positive, upbeat, inspiring individual. I believe in the dreams and aspirations we all have and love to encourage and inspire others to pursue those dreams. I also consider myself a true romantic. I love sunset walks on the beach, candle lit dinners and indepth conversations. I'm intelligent, well traveled, and love to laugh. I'm looking for that special lady who takes my breath away when she looks into my soul and makes me forget about the time when our conversations take us into the early mornings, as well as someone who inspires me just as I inspire her.
I am very creative and have a passion for the arts. I am a portrait and figure artist and in my spare time *wink* I am a high school art teacher. I love the theater, dance, and Disneyland. When I work in my studio I listen to various types of music from Mozart, to Jazz, to Classic Rock. I have lived on the beach all my life and can't think of any other place I'd rather be. I drive by the beach every morning on my way to work and often spend some quite time there as well.
I also enjoy the outdoors, hiking, camping and traveling. One of the things I enjoy as an artist is traveling to different locations to take photographs and gather resource material for a new painting.
In addition to my artistic passion, I also have 4 beautiful daughters that I am very close with, three of which live with me part time. I love being a dad, my 19 year old has moved out, but still calls me "daddy," I love it. Yes all five of us still play games, love being silly, and continue to share those special heart to heart talks as they grow up. They are starting to leave the nest and require less of my time, but we still remain close. Needless to say as someone who works with teens as a teacher and loves being a dad, the special lady in my life must loves kids as well. Besides, kids are AWESOME!!!
As wonderful as this sounds there is still one person missing, that special lady in my life who takes my breath away from across the room. The one who supports my dreams as I do hers, and the one who grows deeper with me as we grow together.

On the first date we can just meet for coffee or a glass of wine. If things go well a walk down main street or along the beach is always nice. But I'm generally a candle lit dinner kind of guy and love to give my special lady all my attention no matter where we go or what we do.
