I'm laid back individual. I value spontaneity, adventure, humorous exchanges and impulse decisions.

I've lived in New York for about 3 years and feel like I've just scratched the surface. My must-do list is continually expanding. An ideal weekend for me might involve exploring the outer boroughs, checking out a new bar or recommended restaurant, spending the day with friends at a beer garden or a bike ride out to the suburbs. I have a soft spot for German food, Bob Ross (let's put a happy little tree...right here), the 80s, the Big Lebowski and wheat beers. I love to ski, as well as the anticipation of a new season. I'm originally from Connecticut and have also lived in Michigan.

I'm looking for someone low-key, open-minded and passionate about life. My ideal woman is also a connoisseur of single malt scotch, but I'm flexible on that.

1. Show you pictures of my children that I didn't tell you about.
2. Try to convince you that I look 50 lbs heavier than in my pictures because I had an allergic reaction from a bee sting on my way to meet you.
3. Talk about my exes.
4. Read my text messages in front of you at dinner.

13. Still reading? I think that's enough for the first date.
