I'm 47, attractive, intelligent, and fairly successful. I'm the father of 15-year-old twins (boy and girl) who live with me. I have a very busy life, trying to balance out fatherhood, coaching sports, running a small business, and keeping up a large house. Additionally, I photograph professionally: I show my work in galleries and sell photo through stock agencies.

I'm currently getting myself back in shape--I spent too much time over the past year coaching and not enough time exercising. So, I'm somewhere between a few extra pounds and athletic.

I like to travel a lot and in the past year I've been to New Orleans, Yosemite, Napa Valley, Hawaii, Italy, Mexico . . . I try to take a trip every two months. I also like fine wine and good food (yes, I can cook just about anything). In general, I'm a person who enjoys being active and creating things: I don't watch TV and I'm not much of a consumer. I'm looking for someone who enjoys staying busy and likes to learn new things.

I'd like to meet my first date at the Portland Art Museum or at Powell's--and if there's some chemistry we could spend some time chatting over a glass of wine or beer or cup of espresso.
