I know what I want in life, and will not settle for convenience. I have attainable goals, aspirations, and dreams, as I tend to associate with people who have the same ideals. I've done a lot of traveling; to Canada, Mexico, Europe (Italy my fav.), Thailand, Hong Kong, and China. I believe working, playing, and living life to it fullest is a great way to live. I do philanthropy as much as I can, and enjoy networking with other professionals talking about business and life, establishing great friendships over time and all over the world. Scuba diving and photography are things I enjoy doing often as possible. Every experience has taught me something new, whether it's been good or bad. I have lived in OH, KY, IN, TX, CA, Las Vegas NV (Fun!), Shanghai China, and traveled many more places since. I believe life is what you make of it, and sitting around and doing nothing, or think things happen for a reason is not what I'm about. I have always maintained an open/honest relationship with people close to me, it seems to work the best no matter what has transpired, or whatever the foreseeable outcome may be. As long as I'm honest with myself, I have a clear conscious, if it doesn't work, I've done my best. I know I can't change people either, and I'm not out there to even try. I know we can live with differences in opinion, respect our little idiosyncrasies (even learned to laugh at them), and through that, I'm sure we all can find good things with our uniqueness. Who wants the ordinary and boring?

I can't say what my first date would be, because they're all different. I am pretty spontaneous, I usually like to have a plan first, but last minute changes or ideas are no problem and encouraged. I like ideas and opinions from someone who is on the date with me, my ideas alone are not as exciting as someone giving her input, and enjoying the time together as I am. I tend to shy from big dinners and long dates the first time, because the feelings of chemistry are important, without the feeling of obligation getting in the way. I am a gentleman, but dutch is the norm for the first time (especially for the serial dater's), and we'll see where chemistry takes us from there.
