Guess I'm a mix of character traits. My family was always passionate about the arts so I've a sincere appreciation. Confidant, perceptive, never self important, treat everyone nicely, I listen and I'm easy to know. Have been too many places, done many things and what it amounts too now is an interest in being near friends, family, the [[ocean]], NYC... and Met' area people in general!

Fit/ super active: [[running]], hoops, [[surfing]] and/or the gym every day possible. Divorced almost two years: No kids. Love them a lot [pics, friends kiddos], but it's best done under the right circumstances. Save one long distance relationship that has run it's course, haven't dated much at all since returning to Met' area.

I run/ own a mktg. firm that keeps me busy. Worked in 'the big apple' for a long time, then out west for years until about a year ago when I set a small office here. Ultimately back for family, friends and the Met' area in general. The world's no. 1 yellow lab and I like being near the ocean so we currently rent a pleasant home in nice northern NJ beach town. Not sure where we'll settle, but we're home... and it's easy to get around.

Traveled '09: Rome, Sicily, Venice, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, [[Hong Kong]], and Vail [necessity, my place on market there].

Last Few Books: A Reporters Life/ Walter Kronkite, The Last Lecture, Click, The Secret, Come Fly With Me... and more 'geek speak' than I'd like to admit. Favorites: Atlas Shrugged, Tai-Pan, Pillars Of The Earth, Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

Movies: Lots, but anything from 'Training Day' to 'Love Actually'

Music: everything!

Food: Italian... and everything else

I'm completely open minded here, but I'd like to meet you in the most relaxing way possible.
