I'm confident and independent, affectionate and open. Nonsmoker, I like staying in shape and doing things outside - the beach more than anything. The motorcycle is my big toy - boys will be boys.

Other likes: rock, happy hour, unruly women, movies, theater - will try anything but ballet. I read a lot, mostly newspapers.

I came to Jacksonville 13 years ago because my kids are here, now 22 and 18, both boys, both musicians, both grew up sooner than I would have allowed. Very happy to be here in Jacksonville. I'm not a globe trotter, but at one time or another I've been to Europe, Asia, Mexico, Canada, and a few places in the Caribbean, and I'm OK with the fact there are cultures other than our own.

I'm a political consultant - I run election campaigns. Yeah, I know, you haven't been paying attention because you're disgusted with it. Or you're disgusted with it because you have been paying attention.

What am I looking for? I don't have a list of demands. Appealing qualities include attractive, fit, earthy, smart, amorous, irreverent, and independent. And it would be, you know, OK if you had a boat, too.
