As you can see from the pictures, I like racing more than the average guy. I have been a driver for five years and have enjoyed every bit of the action. I have been first and last, upside down and right side up. I race with a greatest group of guys. We all get along and help each other out with any problems. It is a true pleasure to be associated with them.

A ‘hands on’ type of guy best describes me and do get my hands dirty sometimes. For the last 15 years I have worked in quality control but my job duties vary immensely. It keeps the brain cells active and thinking. I have also been a toolmaker/machinist and have a degree in mechanical engineering. I love my job and think there is nothing better for me.

During the slow winter months, I’m involved as a mentor helping a local high school with their First Robotics competition. For the last four years I have found that I really enjoy working with the kids that are excited about learning ideas beyond the normal curriculum. I have a great deal of respect for these young men and women. It is six weeks of intense pressure that they put upon themselves to achieve a goal of designing and building a robot for competition. Next year’s event is approaching fast and I am looking forward to a new challenging season.

My music interests lie mainly into classic rock, but like some county artists such as Toby Keith, Brooks and Dunn, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley and Junior Brown (you probably never heard of that one). But what could be better than listening to the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd or the guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan?


Some activities that I like are canoeing on the rivers in southern Missouri but would really like to go back to Colorado and do some rafting on the Arkansas River and bicycling in the mountains again before breaking out the rocking chair. A future dream on my ‘to do list’ is a week long equestrian vacation (trail ride) out west in the mountains. Put on the jeans, boots and cowboy hat. Dump the phone, TV and life’s other worries and pressures. Also I enjoyed hiking in the woods, horse back riding, riding atv’s on Arizonan dessert trails, casual bicycling through Napa Valley vineyards, clamming on the Oregon coast, strolling through art/science museums, concerts, searching flee markets for bargains. All of these things are great fun, but I need that special someone with me to enjoy these together.


As you can see I’m looking for an adventurous, active woman in good shape that would enjoy some or all of the things I have mentioned above. A little "country girl" type with long hair that enjoys wearing blue jeans but always has a few dresses for the formal occasions. You can’t be afraid of getting dirty either. Honesty, romance and passion are a top priority. Someone to start out as friends and hopefully turn into a long term relationship. I want to be able to look my mate in the eyes and know that we have both found true happiness with each other. The eyes are truly the gateway to the soul.

In parting, I would like to share this song verse with my future mate:

“Well I'm love struck baby I must confess,
life without you darlin' is a solid mess
Thinkin' 'bout you baby give me such a thrill,
I gotta have you baby, can't get my fill
I love ya baby an' I know just what to do”
Love Struck Baby, The late great Stevie Ray Vaughan

First dates should be kept simple. A casual dinner or lunch just to check each other out. Maybe a quiet walk or a movie.
