I am multi-faceted...interests vary from football to cooking to guitar to biographies to landscaping to history to my 26lb ragdoll, Austin. I have a very long "bucket list"! Animals and kids and old folks love me. My SOH verges on warped, my wit can be acerbic and I got silly in spades. I am looking for a playmate in every sense of the word. And to top me off, I do a pretty good Stewie impersonation. "How's that novel comin', Bri??"

Though no-drama, casual dating is my first priority with POF, ultimately, my goal is to find a faithful, caring, sincere, beautiful, sharing, committed partner that always has my back, as I would always have hers. My goal is to achieve a family, that is grounded, loving, functional, communicative and fun. I would love to retire into a business of some sort that will make my vocation a vacation. Something that the family would embrace and carry on. Perhaps starting a unique food establishment in a fun locale. Perhaps something something altruistic. Am a big believer in giving back as there have been so many blessings in my life. I annually host a Christmas party to support the USMC's Toys for Tots program. This year will be the tenth year extravaganza so consider this your FIRST Christmas party invite. It is the first Saturday in December and the only price of admission is a BAG of goodies! Also, Austin, the load of a cat, is a therapy cat at a couple of local senior centers. He hasn't broken any hips yet!

I grew up in the southern US, thus I am a gentleman, first and foremost. I open doors, say m'am and sir, hold chairs. Spontaneity never goes out of style, does it? But spontaneity is maximized with, at the very least, the outline of a plan. First dates? Dinner is always an option, but no one likes food stuck in one's teeth and you have to coordinate the garlic intake. Perhaps something neither of us has done? If you have a dog, maybe a meeting at the park. Anything that involves the opportunity to honestly chat and get a read on one another.
