Me - I’m a native Phoenician that’s part of a very large family. I’ve never been married and do not have any children yet. I live and spend most of my free time in the downtown area because I like the culture and the energy. I’m currently in the planning stages of opening a restaurant & bar, also in downtown. It's a big challenge but it will be worth it. I try to maintain balance in life and tend to be down to earth, active and playful (humor is my favorite outlet). I do my best to keep up on what's going on in the world and I am moderately liberal or progressive politically. For the most part I’m outgoing, spontaneous and fun loving. Ideally, I'm happiest spending time with family, friends, dogs and hopefully someone special.

Outside of work and family I have many different interests. I love music and try to hear it performed live as much as possible. I have eclectic taste with an open mind to most genres and generations but I mostly listen to some variation of rock (classic, indie, alt, blues, etc.). When there’s a gathering or party I usually end up as the DJ. I don’t play any instruments but I bought a guitar in hopes of learning how to play it some day. Other interests I have include politics, history, philosophy, sports and the arts, just to name a few. Basically I’m open to anything that can make me a better person and I usually try to find a little adventure in most things I do.

A few of my “favorite things” would be traveling - cooking - dogs – concerts or small live shows - fairs & festivals - hiking & camping - discovering great new restaurants, pubs, dive bars or lounges - movies...regular, drive-in or at home (I can even stand a “chick flick” every now and then) - comedy shows - good conversation - uncontrollable laughter - the smell of desert rain - cozy nights in – massages - football (Cardinals & ASU) - sports (watching and playing) - golf (regular and miniature) - lazy mornings where we don’t get out of bed right away… - road trips and casual back yard gatherings.

What does not make my “favorite things” list are (in no particular order) Klan meetings (Clan meetings are OK though) – animal abuse (or any form of abuse for that matter) - cheesy meat market night clubs – cruel, belligerent, greedy or selfish people – close minded, ultra conservative ideology - game playing (unless it’s Ping Pong, Risk, pool, darts, Twister or Wii - then it’s game on!) - A poke in the eye with a sharp stick - flakes - alien abductions (unless they let me fly the ship - then it’s game on!) - ending up being a bitter, old, lonely dude that cusses at the neighbor kids for playing on my lawn (only you can prevent this last outcome).

You - Not to be cliché but I would like to find my partner in crime, someone who shares my belief that life is an adventure and it doesn’t always have to be stressful or passionless. I hope to find a connection with someone where we easily make each other laugh. I'm most attracted to women who are intelligent, kindhearted, savvy, open-minded and positive - extra credit if you have a great laugh and or smile - double bonus points if you can watch the game with me on Sundays and actually enjoy it (a guy can dream right?). Looks do matter but nothing is sexier than beauty and confidence without pretense. I don’t have set rules regarding age but I do prefer women younger than me and I would also like to keep my options open to have children someday. Also, I like to be active and do my best to be health conscious. I have a new found dedication to getting fit and I would like to find someone who’s reasonably fit and active so we can go hiking, play volleyball, golf and workout together, etc.

Lastly, I’m an affectionate guy. Some people like more physical contact and intimacy in their relationships than others – I’m talking about everything from holding hands and kissing to cuddling and even sex (yah, I said it). Other than excessive PDA I like a good amount of physical contact. I think it’s completely healthy and natural and frankly, I’d rather not be in a relationship without it (I think they call that “friends” or “buds” or something). While on the subject, I believe true intimacy should be passionate and based on an emotional connection, that said, it’s even better when it can be lighthearted, flirtatious and fun, too. I realize broaching this subject may scare some of you off and I’m ok with that. I’m talking to those that relate and I only need one of you to be right for me. Note - This does not mean I’m looking for friends with benefits or anything crazy. I just want to avoid an incompatible situation or something overly complicated.

Overall I’m a fun, diverse and confident guy who knows what he wants and has an optimistic view on life. I don’t feel like I need someone to complete me, I just want someone to share the moments with. So what are you waiting for? Send a message already!

I don't really have a generic first date. I try to be creative and keep it fresh. My only goal would be to have a good time and make a good connection.
