San Diego, Lake Tahoe, NV and Jacksonville, FL - Full of life, hopeless romantic with a fun edge. Life is for the living and I love to see a smile and people truly having fun.

Why the many locations - I'm a 30 year plus resident of Lake Tahoe that for the immediate future must be in Rancho Bernardo (San Diego), and travels about a week to 10 days a month. My primary client is in Jacksonville, FL and I am the head of a non-profit headquartered in Portland, OR.

More importantly who am I as person? A fair self-assessment of myself would be that I’m a kind alpha male that is confident enough to cherish, nurture and defer to my partners strengths. I also believe in old school chivalry, am spontaneous, attentive, optimistic, gentle, clean up quite well, physically fit, have the highest degree of personal integrity and am a man of my word. A veteran with a strong sense of right and wrong that volunteers his time to help others.

NOT TO WORRY about my nice guy demeanor - As you look into the twinkle in my eyes and my smile it won't take long for you to find out that I have just enough "devil" in me to make life fun, and very interesting!

Simply love to dance - country, waltz, cha cha, swing, salsa or… I'm patient, gentle and always with a smile. I wake up every morning on the sunny side of the street. I live life through an outdoor life style: sports, any activity with water or snow, natural hot springs, skinny dipping, romantic evenings, all dancing, horses, hiking and cycling. As well I love shows, the theatre, history and observing the micro cultures that we as a nation are composed of. I'm well traveled, and like exploring new places.

Looking for a best friend, lover and a special person to share my life with. She must be her own person (self confident), intelligent with a sense of humor and bring-it twinkle in her eyes. Glass half full personality that loves to live life, is adventurous, tall, physically fit, attractive and is comfortable at the beach, on a mountain top or in that little black dress.

Long term relationship is not only my desire, it's my preference. Married once and we were together 28 years and my longest date since was 4 years.

If you have that twinkle in your eyes and are intelligent, confident, honest, sincere, active, fit, fun loving and young of heart and would like to meet someone like yourself, you found him!

My preference is for someone in my getting better age range, but a good friend who is more than 20 years younger recently said to me, DO NOT preclude us, you're too alive and fun. Therefore let me state it this way, what's truly important to me is that you too want to live life on the sunny side of the street and you want a best friend to share it with. If you think this could be you, simply say hi. Ya never never know!

for fun:
