My main goal in life is to own and operate a dog rescue, because I love dogs and relate to them really well. I have a 4 year old beagle girl that my life revolves around outside of work.

I have long, curly brown hair and lots of tattoos which makes some folks think that I'm mean. I'm actually a pretty nice guy. I can't stand snobby tattoo enthusiasts that think that if a person only has only one or two tattoos, that they aren't cool. I guess I can't stand snobs at all, come to think of it.

Music has been my main passion in life since I was 12 or 13, especially the heavy stuff. I've been playing guitar since I was 13, and even if I'm not all that good, I still enjoy playing and doing the band thing. I listen to most anything, but my preference is on the heavier side of things.

I like going on walks with my dog or with friends, golfing, absolutely love hiking, going to the beach (especially to the Washington coast where it is windy all of the time) and I have always been big on camping.

What I'm looking for in a woman is loyalty, somebody who shares my values and compassion for others and animals, likes tattooed guys, isn't shallow and into material things (I try and keep my possessions down to a minimum) and enjoys the small things in life. I prefer a woman that doesn't wear makeup, or wears very little. I like the natural beauty of a woman.

DISCLAIMER: I am a vegan. I won't change that. I don't force it on other people. I do it for myself. I am not bothered by people eating what they want to eat.

Dating... jeez. Dinner and a movie sounds cliche, but I like doing both. It would probably be better getting dinner and then going somewhere to talk and get to know eachother. I'm a big fan of Indian and Thai food. I don't want to go to a loud place where I can't hear the other person talk.
