I'm youthful in body & spirit... I really do look younger than my age. I run often--even run a marathon now & then. I'm very health oriented; I juice everything!

Professionalluy, I'm part ad-sales person/entrepreneur, part innate photographer (did it professionally f/many years)... Currently re-entering the ad sales world. I love sales 'cause its all about connecting with people. It's an odd combination, but I most enjoy the opportunity to be creative in a business environment. Current goals: write & photograph a book on veterans. Start another businesss. I'd like to get married again...

I Want to visit Russia again (learning Russian now). I also want to visit: Prague, Milan, Venice, preferably via train... Most of all, find a partner to enjoy NYC & life in-general from the ground up! I savor life's smaller moments best.

I try to remember what John Lenon said: "Life is what happens to you while you're making other plans." Its so true.

Just moved to Astoria after spending decades gentrifying the East Village. I raised 3 wonderful kids there--wouldn't have done it anywhere else. On to new adventures! I'm a very eclectic city-guy (though I grew up in CT) I have a passion for everything I do. I talk & express myself easily. But I also appreciate calm, quiet & intuitive moments. Especially enjoy people who trust their instincts & feelings--not so much their head. I also particularly love the differences women bring into the male experience... not just sex. They're often daunting, but always challenging & exciting!

I'm highly creative & enjoy other like-minded souls, though I can hold my own with anyone... whatever you do, if you do it creatively & intuitively, we'll likely get along well! Entrepreneurs are some of the most creative people I know--its not just 'artists.' Life without art would be a very dark place; it's an essential part of my life and I often seek out new, cutting-edge stuff.

I love music of all forms, esp Jazz, from traditional to modern. Currently into Bill Frissel. Love Philip Glass (met him in Tompkins Park last year), esp his solo piano works, etc... Rock 'n roll is OK as long as it's unique. Finishing up War & Peace--need to re-read! Joseph Brodsky, Bulgakov.. on a Russian fix now; great stuff.

Lastly, I'm a pretty smart guy, NYU & SVA, Navy photojournalist, et al; I think & talk fast... but I'm wary of intellectuals... I've learned more from life itself, than books & clever talk. I won't hold it against you; its engaging sometimes. There's just gotta be a deeper connection to hold my interest...

Note: picts are from 2005-08. New ones coming, but I still look pretty much the same.

Meet somewhere new, where neither of us has been... romantic, quiet enough to talk--& listen. Where we can relax & see if there's enough magic for a real date.
