Hiking, playing tennis, cooking in, camping, travel, eating out and watching new & classic films appeal to me. Playing guitar, singing and writing songs has always been a big part of my life. In my younger days I rambled all over the USA chasing the musical dream. Now my main gig is working for a lender. My little 1920's era Arts & Crafts stucco bungalow in Southside is my home base. Finding someone I can trust and is willing to trust me is one of my top goals. Trust is hard to build, easy to destroy and even harder to re-build.

Women who are compassionate, passionate, loving, affectionate and considerate turn me on, women who can appreciate being treated well and know how to treat a man well. Reciprocity, honesty and openness. Sharing mutual appreciation and affection would be nice.

I am not in a hurry to get serious but I am open to entertaining anything as far as a relationship goes. I'm ready to get serious if the right person comes along, but could also keep it light if you're not up for that. I am a very flexible person...

I have three sons ages 12, 16 & 18. My oldest is now off to college. I have my sons every other week and need someone who understands that lifestyle (extremely available one week and unavailable the next)...I took my sons on a 12,000 mile 30 day trip across the West two summers ago. I figured it was a moment in time I had to capture. I was glad I did, because I was right.

Work/life balance is extremely important to me, but recently I have been working extra hard due to opportunities at my job.

I love to laugh and have fun...My friends call me a bon vivante. I like fine wines, and prefer French reds. My friends own a vineyard in Afton. Maybe we could take a day trip up there for a visit.

My style in relationships is to negotiate outcomes, not respond to demands or ultimata. Respect is huge for me. I need it and I want to show it.

My favorite types of music are just about anything other than rap, hip hop or contemporary country. The anger and misogynistic content of much rap and hip hop bothers me. I do like contemporary R & B, people like Anthony Hamilton. I'm a lover not a fighter. I have so much to offer the right woman. Let's take the first step and find out if we connect...

I have been separated and divorced 2 years and 5 months.

Must have a photo please!

If you know the difference between Rochambeau and Rimbaud, or Baudelaire and Rousseau, we might connect...

First date? Coffee, lunch or a drink?
