Hi there! I'm Todd, a 40 year old National Account Manager/Corporate Executive Chef for a high tech German commercial oven manufacturer. I travel often for my job and I love to redeem those frequent flier miles to travel outside the US to experience other places and cultures. I also like to entertain/cook for friends. Oftentimes you'll find me with a camera in my hands.

As far as music goes, some faves of mine are Donavon Frankenreiter, Jack Johnson, Jackie Greene, G. Love, Dave Matthews, REM, U2, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Coldplay, Cake, Ben Folds Five, O.A.R., Eric Clapton, John Coltrane, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Police, The Doors, Sammy Hagar, Ray LaMontagne, Toots and the Maytals, Harry Connick Jr., Jeremy Davenport, KT Tunstall.

I'm divorced with 2 awesome sons (7&9) that I share custody of. The 9 year old is the athlete, playing all sports. The 7 year old is already a flirt and wants to kiss most of the girls he meets.

I'm looking to meet a fun, educated, professional that truly enjoys living a full and adventurous life. While I can occassionally enjoy some down time, you're much more likely to find me flying off to a tropical destination, Europe, or faraway place in Southeast Asia. If we are a good fit, I hope you have a passport!

I typically prefer to have several conversations online/phone before meeting. I think you can gain a good sense of who you're meeting well before the actual "first date". This takes much of the anxiety away. A great first date could start at a quiet bar for an early evening drink. If the conversation goes well, maybe extending into the evening with dinner and plenty of laughter.

Second, third, and subsequent dates is when I get a bit more creative...anything from a trip to the lake for a day on my boat, a dinner where we cook together, an escape to a cabin in the ozarks, hiking in the woods, a daytrip to the wineries, a progressive dinner by boat on the canals of Venice or Amsterdam (ok, maybe that's on the 6th or 7th date!)
