I'm an adventurous, outdoor, easy going, no b.s., affectionate, type of guy with many tastes, talents and skills. Looking for a naturally beautiful, low maintenance woman of the same.

I love to cook, and can whip up healthy, restaurant quality meals at will. Not a fan of fast food or chain restaurants, I like knowing what I'm eating.

Other then my 2 weekly doughnuts, I lead a healthy lifestyle and workout 3-5 times a week.

I want the girl in my life to call when I wander through her thoughts and she wants to talk, not wait for me to call her.

I enjoy pushing myself and others to their limits, and occasionally playing outside of the "comfort box". This is what makes us grow.

Not materialistic, but I've developed a strange affection for my iPhone.

The Native Americans believe that the turtle is the navigator in life, a self-contained creative source and a symbol for courage, since it must stick it’s neck out to move forward.

The turtle takes its wisdom one day at a time - not reacting, simply accepting and moving on in its natural methods.

"Compassion is the same way," said Joshua. "That's what the yeti knew. He loved constantly, instantly, spontaneously, without thought or words. That's what he taught me. Love is not something you think about, it is a state in which you dwell. That was his gift."
-Joshua speaking to Gaspar: Lamb, a novel. The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Please don't ask me if I like the Yankees or the Mets. If given the choice, I'd rather watch paint dry or the tomatoes turn red then a baseball game.

I listen to all types of music, but mostly country.
I'm not a big fan of TV, but when I do watch it I have the Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, the History Channel, Comedy Central or Adult Swim on.
I like watching movies that are funny or action packed, every now and again something on the softer side gets sent from Blockbuster though, one of my favorite movies is "A Good Year" after all.

For work, I now play in a restaurant, but am working on changing that to something more conducive to family life.

**I'm going to consider this profile, like myself, as "a work in progress" and just add to it as I think of things I want to share.**

All depends on who I'm going out on a date with. Usually a cup of coffee/tea or drinks, or even lunch somewhere we can talk and hear each other is a good place to start.
