I am straightforward, honest, spiritual, romantic, fun and caring, a well-educated professional man of diverse interests. I'm from the Midwest and new to New York, but have lived on both coasts as well as in Africa. I've been lucky enough to have been in the corporate world and had my own businesses and now I am finding contentment and fulfillment as a registered nurse. My passions include photography, playing the trumpet, computer technology, yoga, helping the Humane Society and travel; and I especially love spending time with my dog and exploring the city and parks. I am looking for someone to permanently share my life with, to reach heights of passion and fun, to take the journey with a kindred spirit.

The sky is overcast and the air has a chill. We walk close to stay warm on our way to a cozy cafe. We sip our drinks then by accident we notice we are looking into each other's eyes and without prompting we smile. The conversation flows freely and we notice neither time nor the chill. I drop you off and I'm still smiling...you think about the evening and smile too.......well, a "perfect" first date is tough to count on, so let's just have a relaxing fun time and see what happens!
