I recently moved back to Illinois after a 10 year adventure in Florida. I'm an honest, hard-working, midwestern guy who loves to have fun in any way possible! I'm excited about opening a new chapter in my life and would love to find a partner to enjoy it with! I am an avid sports fan, watching and playing. I enjoy exploring new places, cultures, and foods. I love the midwest and will always call it home. A retirement cabin out west and a condo on the beach in Sarasota are in my retirement plans.

Give expression to the noble desires that lie in your heart.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

Something casual and fun. No pressure, just time to relax and get to know each other. A baseball game or a drink and appetizers on the water are both great first dates.
