When I have time I love to get out into nature and enjoy what it has to offer. I love to read, kayak, write poems and prose, interact with my dog and children. I am a huge football fan and love college hockey.

I have a great career that is very important to me, however sharing things with another person you can trust is always a bonus.
I like walks, laughter, sharing ideals, travel and different interests. Finding out what makes a person tick has always been very intriguing to me. Intelligence is very attractive and sexy. Independence is ideal with a life outside of a relationship.
I have traveled to many places in the US plus outside the country, and have many more places left on my list.
I feel volunteering is a major way to help others whether they are two legged or four.

Anything else you would like to know about me will be revealed when we communicate. I think pouring out your soul on a social network sight can be a mute point when looking for the right person. It is the actual interaction that makes or breaks a persons personality. We can all look good in writing. If you contact me, please have a picture. I have one.

I believe nothing is ever beyond a persons reach if you just believe in yourself.

My taste in music varies from classical to jazz to good old rock and roll.

A first date I feel should be of mutual sharing of ideals and opinions. Nothing too fancy, just an opportunity to get to know each other. Preferably a public place.
