... laughter and romance. Could this be you?

I'm a fine arts trained illustrator and IT/internet professional with a wide range of interests, returning to the Northwest after working eight years on the east coast. Working with NCAA Football has made for a very demanding work schedule the past four years. 2009 schedule will also include picking up classes in pursuit of an architectural degree.

What I'm looking for:

The romantic in me would love to meet the love of my life. Meanwhile, company, conversation, and laughter would be appreciated. And if there's chemistry... seriously sensual kissing, and...???

Interests... I enjoy literature from Grisham to Austen to Jungar. I love movies of every genre, from indie's to blockbusters. All live theater, from community to Broadway. I have an eclectic taste in music, from jazz to county/bluegrass or classical to rock. And, took hundreds of hours of ballroom dance in my twenties, but never had a partner interested in learning, or practice.

I also love to play outdoors as well. On land I love camping on the coast or in the woods off the beaten path. I have a passion for anything associated with water, from sea and whitewater kayaking, sailing (bareboat certified from Colgate Offshore Sailing), scuba (ex-military diver) and snorkeling. And, I'm looking forward to learning golf and windsurfing.

Love construction and remodeling, from simple fix-it projects, to major remodels and new construction. (Do you like the smell of saw dust in the morning?)

And, while I don't expect a woman to appreciate all of my interests, it would be nice if she shared some of mine, and possibly introduced me to some of hers.

FYI, I'm much more cheerful than I appear in my photos..;-)

A relaxed conversation over a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, glass of wine, or****ail? We could discuss a more entertaining date if we click...:-)
