Most important, I am a highly affectionate, romantic person who has values passed on from a rich family history of kindness and gentleness. In my DNA is a myriad of taught principles of truth, grace, forgiveness and hope. It was suggested this would be a great place to find good people and while there are always "wackos", there are also great people here. Was married twenty four years and going very slow in to the "dating" scene and single for now two years. I am an empty nester and love life, not needy and no "drama" type person. My travel schedule keeps me way too busy. I am transparent, a person of values and love family. I love what I do and like music real loud. Not interested in taking life too seriously and enjoy communicating. No "agendas" here, and I travel way too much. As a renaissance man because I love to paint, to compose, to dance, to write and create I love to do many different kinds of things. People's hearts are the most important treasure and everything begins with friendship that is long term. I am a long term kind of friend, loyal and honest to a fault. As a former cheerleader at OU in college, I learned the valuable lesson of being an encourager. Today, I still try to emulate that same belief of being positive and supportive. There are way too many critics in life. Whether a sporting event or a very loud concert, or driving with my top down at sunset, I am happy.

Getting to know someone is a rare and beautiful opportunity. Talking at a Starbucks in an environment where there is no "stress", sitting out at the lake, going for a walk, having a light lunch or some gentle back yard hang time sounds pretty nice. Life is short, so laughter is a must. Chemistry is crucial and I also believe it happens in its own time. The "road" and my profession is a barrier to developing a lasting relationship. One of my favorite things is one and one time or a quiet dinner where you can really get to know someone's heart. Another fun thing to do is hanging out in an evening and watching the sunset. Yep, hopeless romantic is the ONLY way I can describe it...
