I left a successful career in journalism to adventure for awhile in Alaska and now own a music teaching studio in Anchorage. I am the doting father of an 8-year-old daughter and would probably be most suitable for someone who is also a parent or interested in being part of a child's life. I am an avid reader, intellectually curious, emotionally open and self-aware - not the silent type at all! I like to keep fit by hiking, biking and going to the gym. I am looking for a partner with a strongly developed sense of self who's achieved some success as she's defined it, has reconciled with the inevitable disappointments, and is ready to take another chance on love.

Probably just get together for a cup of coffee because that seems the simplest and most stress-free way to begin to get acquainted.
