Muscular but flexible, scarred yet cheerful, impulsive but thoughtful, relaxed but intense, strong but sensuous, confident but cautious, honest but aware, busy but lonely.

I'm currently in the process of editing the first draft of my first novel (I'm trying to save humanity, as well as entertain), but I need distractions to release my mind.

I used to have a job in a pizzeria, and now I make my own pizza at home. I currently have a job at a winery, and have started making my own wine. I enjoy the arts and am involved with a few local theater groups.

I play guitar, I have a good family, and I take care of my body. I don't smoke. In fact, I either lift weights or exercise just about every morning, so smoking would be counterproductive. I'd like her to also try to keep her body nice for me. Even though I tend to think I have a great body, I tend to be modest, except in privacy or anonymity. I'm ambitious to the point that I will achieve my goals, but not at the cost of doing anything illegal or immoral.

Favorite TV shows: NCIS, Psych, White Collar

I had difficulty keeping a conversation when I was young, and never even asked a girl out until my senior year of high school (she turned me down because she was already dating someone, and I was heartbroken). College brought me a little success, but very little. Moved to the Fingerlakes, but don't go out much because I don't know many locals my own age.

I'm willing to try new things. I don't judge music based on its genre or its artist; I judge each song individually. There are songs from every genre that I enjoy. Far fewer rap songs than rock or pop or country or jazz, but a few nonetheless.

I adore the fit female body.

I dislike driving. I do it, but when I drive I try to be constantly vigilant, and that makes time tick slowly. If I'm driving (especially an unknown route), the clock counts only every other minute. I'm hoping it'll be better with my new car (picking it up 2009-11-16!)

I'm not perfect, but every day I endeavor to be more so.

Something casual, where we'd have the opportunity to talk. Lunch, drinks, desserts, bowling, golf, live music, hiking, jogging, four wheeling, there are a lot of options.

I'm not the only one who should decide. I'm pretty open to possibilities.
