Teeth are straight, I shower daily, I don't lick the flatwear after dinner, other than that I'm a bit of a mixed bag. I like less refined things like musty old bars out in the country, PBR and howling at the moon. I can also hold my own talking about history, art, fine food, wine and literature. Sometimes it even sounds like I know what it is I’m saying.

On any given day I could be found fly fishing, drinking good spirits, hiking, taking walks with my dog, reading, trying new foods, rafting, fixing things, doing the crossword or sometimes on Sunday, you can find me laying around in my underwear until noon.

Although it might look like it in my pictures I'm not exactly Brad Pitt, but once you get to know me you might be surprised to find yourself cast under my strange spell. I like to keep it loose and don't get bogged down with the heavy stuff which is part of my charm. Sure I like to rant and rave about the ill-conceived injustices in the world while flailing my arms about in the air, but who doesn't? Behind those diatribes there is always a little wink and a grin.

I would like to meet a woman that is sweet, smart, hard working and nonjudgmental. It would be nice if she likes to people-watch, hike, read, travel, drink, cook, garden, Yoga and enjoys the arts peppered with some good clean redneck fun.

My shortcomings are:

I feel that the toilet paper roll should always come over the top and not from the bottom. Not a deal breaker but could be a tipping point:)

I ran my own business for the last few years. Turns out that I'm not the shrewd business owner I thought I might be so now I'm going back to school for some re-training. It feels like a late start, but better later than never.

Kindness to others is important to me. I'm at the point now where if I'm on a date with a girl that saunters across the street while a car is waiting for her to cross chances are pretty good that this will be the last time that I'm taking her out for 40oz of Old E' and tacos.

I leave the toilet seat up.

I don't like to talk on the phone.

Sometimes I'm a little messy.

First date? Laughing all night long and then making out. It's a no brainer
