I have lived in California all my life. I grew up in San Mateo. I am fun loving...have a great sense of humor (Monty Python, Liar Liar, John Stewart all put tears on my face)...don't take myself too seriously and enjoy traveling (mostly to tropical places). I have always been a monogamous guy...loyal...affectionate. I am big on family and friends... helped raise two great daughters and love them very much. They are in their mid 20's and we have remained great friends. I like all kinds of animals...presently own one small cute dog (Toby...though he is often called Tobestool or Tobywankanobee)
I teach high school math and am about 2 years away from retiring from THAT profession. Will continue working as a tutor or consultant after I retire.
I love exercising, hitting a golf ball, walking and playing on the beach, going to movies, eating out, lounging and dancing at resorts, hitting Vegas, and going to baseball games. I like to backpack with my brothers and friends in the summer.
I am a member of a spa in Redwood City and like to work out, walk and swim. I enjoy golfing and am decent at the game (not great). I am looking for someone who enjoys going to sporting events (sometimes), someone who likes the outdoors (beaches etc) and enjoys walking and exercising...but knows how to relax too. I like going to good movies (dramas mostly). I can sleep in a Vegas 5 star resort after winning a grand OR on the Sierra Nevada ground...I like diversity in life. Pics are pretty much span the last 5 years...(the pics with shades and Vegas shirt are from last week)
