Instead of going on a diatribe about how I dislike the dating game, or trying to mystify you with lines of dialog that every other tool uses to smoke and mirror his way into your life, I figure why not just rattle off some adjectives that I think adequately identify me: Truthful, honorable, just, sarcastic, real, loyal, unique, laid back, quick witted, confident, dependable, goofy, neat, intense, intelligent, romantic, practical, strong, loving, determined, successful, chivalrous, clean, optimistic, passionate, fun loving, kid hearted, realistic, responsible, gassy, blunt, macabre, hilarious, intimidating, quiet, gentleman, old fashioned, inquisitive, kind, compassionate, magnanimous, savvy, competitive, suspicious, stubborn, athletic, brutish, sports nut, gear head, music lover and father.

The aforementioned characteristics only begin to describe who I am. I'm just an all American nice guy that although I've been dealt a few bad hands in the poker game of relationships, I still believe in love and the possibility that my Queen is still out there. I'm an ex-competitive powerlifter (hence the "Beast") who still spends a lot of time in the gym. I have been a police officer for the past 13 years and I still love what I do. I feel I was placed on this earth, and given all of my attributes to be able to help and protect people. I have a 5 year old daughter that I love dearly. I only see her a few times a week so I try real hard to be the best dad I can be! I'm a music lover that attends a ton of concerts (mostly rock/metal shows). I am a movie fanatic that finds myself at a new movie almost weekly. I'm a sports nut and about as die hard of a Cubs and Bears fan as you'll find. You will find me at Wrigley at least 10-15 times a year and my brother and I are aspiring Bears season ticket holders! I love to ride my Harley, I have a passion for fast cars and I love to travel. I am constantly looking for new ways to challenge myself. My most recent quest is learning to play guitar! There is A LOT more so if you find me at all interesting, slap me upside my big bald head and say "Hey, big fella, I think you're cute!" and we'll go from there! I wish you all the best of luck on your journey through life and I hope you find what it is you are searching for.

I think a first encounter over a nice cup of coffee or an ice cold beer is perfect.
