While I may be a very direct person, I also believe in having fun and enjoying life...learning from every new experience helps you grow as a person, and since this is California...all the better. I'm originally from Michigan, but came out here originally when I was in the Marine Corps. I came back because I wanted a fresh start and I missed the weather and the excitement lol. I now work as a Military Enrollment Advisor for a university, and for the first time in a long while, I love the work I do. I get to help folks who've been in the military (and currently still are) further their educations to help them succeed in life.

I love things such as reading, listening to music, working out, camping, watching movies (I still love going to the theater and watching a new release :) ), exploring, the occasional road trips; which sometimes lead me to Vegas lol, quality beers (hence my love of Stone Beer...of which I highly recommend taking a tour of the brewery and dining there, it's quite the experience) and trying new things. I'm a very open minded person...I believe that every new experience enriches not only our knowledge but they quality of our lives as well.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm looking for relationship that may lead to more. I know a lot guys may say this in the beginning and when push comes to shove....they run and hide, that's not me. I'm typically attracted to women who are intelligent, know what they want, don't let the past bring them down, open minded, have a sense of adventure, and take care of themselves physically.

Now this may be a deal breaker, but I do have a 7 year old daughter whom I love very deeply and I'm very involved in her life. She lives out of state with her Mom, and I only get to see her a few times a year.

I believe every date is different because it's only a new experience but in the world of dating, it's with a new person. So let's make it something that's unique to both of us.
