Growing up as one of eight children born to older dysfunctional parents has made me a special person...kind hearted, understanding, and able to emphasize with others.

I grew up obsessed with motors and partying but I can still work on some equipment and I occasionally have a drink or two. I especially appreciate a light fruity wine with dinner.

Left a good job in the steelmaking industry to pursue an engineering degree. I'm actually a hard working public servant...honestly. I feel it's important to do my best at whatever is before me and I plan to continue to work at something for as long as I can.

I married once at 33 and we had two wonderful sons. The oldest attends WVU and hopes to enter the medical field and the youngest is a highschool junior who excels in classical violin. He actually is in his second year performing with the WVU Synphony Orchestra. I do not play an instrument but recently purchased an electric piano. Lessons haven't started yet. I love to sing too...I think I sound okay.

I like to eat light but varied healthy meals. I live alone and I rarely cook for myself but still eat natural foods. Looking forward to the fun of cooking with someone soon.

I have always been a gardener so I recently attended classes and became a master gardener and now I'm meeting more interesting people and serving communities in new ways.

God has planted me in a great church in Bridgeport and has supplied me with some great friends for my stability and spiritual growth. Networking from my base church has given me opportunities to meet many wonderful people and serve others in the local communities.

Played sports in highschool and have always been pretty fit. I've lost some muscle mass and gained some unsightly fat since my prime but am gradually toning up. I hope you would enjoy regularly working out with me. I will help you stretch, encourage you, and give you massages.

I need and take no drugs... no aspirins, cold medicines, antibiotics... they seem to me to be like poisin with their side effects and they interfere with the bodies natural defenses.

I think I have a positive personality, a good listener, not a loud braggart, able to make others feel at ease, and a good friend.

Musical tastes...Classical, Oldies, Contemporary Christian, some Country, etc but I'm open to more culturing! Live music is better!

I enjoy watching WVU sports, attending concerts and plays, going to the movies, dancing, dining, and traveling to new places. I would rather spend my money and time building meaningful relationships and fond memories than amassing a large estate.

"You are special and I am hoping to romance you! You appreciate order in your life, but when you are caught off guard you just laugh and enjoy an opportunity to try something new. If you want a man who adores you and is very affectionate to the point of smothering you then I may be the guy for you."

"If I have described you, then please, let me know, I really want to hear from you!"

I like to let the lady choose a time and place for a first meeting. If there is chemistry between the both of us then I'm sure I'll be able to make a wise decision and let the lady choose where we go and what we do next and next, etc...
