Let’s see, I’m 6’4” tall, about 200 lbs, love to play sports. I have a nice outside jumper, and I can hit an inside fastball to the opposite field. I just don’t do it enough to warrant even a minor league contract. I like music, pretty much anything from alt rock, classic, old country (pre-60’s), blues (electric and acoustic). I’m into concerts and festivals, a big fan of Palooza. Enjoy the arts, more theater than artwork itself. I try hard, but a lot of it escapes me. I do enjoy museums too, so I’m not just a jock.

I like to travel, mostly to Europe. I try and get there once a year or so. Favorites are Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Germany as a whole, Budapest and others. I’ve been to Japan but the language barrier is tough. At least in Europe you can pretty much guess what the signs say.

I’m a pretty easy-going, laid-back person. I like hanging out in front of a bonfire, having a beer or two, but I also like getting out too. Enjoy nice restaurants, nightclubs, etc. I’m a foodie, everything from southern BBQ, brats and kraut, to sesame chicken and beef bourguignon. I’m educated, but I’m not pretentious about it. I think we can all add value to the world if we choose to do so. I like conversations that push me to think, that test my opinions and force me to always re-examine myself. I work hard and have focused goals that I’m working towards. Kids are cool just as long as I don’t have to be daddy…for now. I have a sense of humor, at least that’s what everyone tells me. That’s pretty much me.

So…who are you? I’m looking for someone who’s on a path. It might not be a straight path, but it’s a path just the same. You have to have a dream or a goal and you need to be following it. If you have no clue what you want to do in life, or where you want to go, we’re not going to be a good match. My friends, parents, siblings still don’t have that figured out when they try to play matchmaker. If your idea of dinner conversation is 2 hours of telling me why your life sucks, or how everyone around you has screwed you, that’s not a conversation. That’s called a therapy session and I don’t do those. You have to be reasonably attractive, or at the very least, interested in your appearance. Tattoos and piercings are ok; just don’t be mistaken for a carnie. Carnies are close to clowns, and I find clowns creepy. You need to be someone who is confident, pretty outgoing, someone who enjoys going out in public. You need to be open-minded on all levels. If you’re intent on staying within the lines, it’s not a good match. Sometimes you just have to color outside the lines to see what it’s like. Oh, one other thing, if your profile pic has you posing with the crossways peace signs, here’s a clue, it’s too late, game over, look for another cliché. Don’t bother messaging me. And if you have no clue what I’m talking about, we’re one step closer together.

I'm open...coffee, dinner, maybe a walk somewhere??
