I really enjoy my life, but I am seeking a wife to share it with. Where are you?
Somehow, I have a view of life that is different from my friends.
My family grew up on the coast of Washington State, in the Columbia Gorge. I have three brothers and a sister. We lived on top of a basalt cliff overlooking the river, making for spectacular views. We had plenty of activities growing up, building an architectural wonder of a house, swinging on our tire swing over the precipice, making a clubhouse down in the cracks of the basalt columns. We built a couple of small sailboats so we could go out on the river and chase the ships cruising upriver from the ocean, and playing dodge-boat tag on the river.
My mother gave up a scholarship in musical performance to become a teacher She passed those musical talents to her children. We all played instruments in school: for me it was the violin. After college, I was part of an instrumental group, playing bass and performing for a couple of years. It was a great way to see the rest of the world.
My dad was a top engineer in the aluminum refining industry He traveled around the world as a consultant. He taught all of us that all people around the world share the same globe, that we are more similar than we are different, and that we can have friends anywhere. I can be anyone's friend. I relate well to nearly all people regardless of their viewpoint or belief.
I came back to Washington State to pursue my career in engineering, Now I am building big projects that ensure pollution-free electrical generation, while mitigating the impact on the native animals. It's a good job for me, and it provides great benefits. I will probably work 12 more years. My job is so entertaining - not only am I proud of my role, but the office antics make every day seem like an episode of a movie.
One of the most important parts of my life is to feel alive in the outdoors. I enjoy a lot of muscle-powered sports, including bicycling, sea kayaking, climbing, hiking, skiing, swimming, and stuff that I just make up. Intellectual fun for me includes listening to and playing music, reading, designing and building things, watching over my investments.
My future is clear, bright, and secure. The part of the world where I live is peaceful and clean. I am healthy, strong, and happy. My family consists of my wonderful brothers and sister, and many brilliant nieces and nephews.
But, I miss a partner to learn from, to grow with, and share this life with.

We would do something that we both enjoy, that would give us the opportunity to talk. We would be like old friends who were catching up on the latest happenings.
