Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions and inquiries:

1. Why are you single? Because I have been focused on life, work and children without figuring out what I wanted in a partner. Without knowing, I did not recognize if I met someone worth pursuing.
2. Are you normal? My friends agree that I am.
3. Criminal record? No, never even been in a situation to be charged.
4. Smoke? No. Not even once in a while.
5. Are you an alcoholic? No. I do enjoy a beer or spiced rum and coke but know where the line is.
6. What do you want? A friend, a confidant, a partner, a lover. Someone who is kind, sincere and big-hearted. Someone who wants to share life but still maintain their own identity and have a life outside of the relationship. Physical attraction is important as well.
7. Deal breakers? People who are self-centred, rude, etc.
8. Why should I message you/respond to your message? It may change our lives or it may not, won't know until you try.
9. Will you ever send a picture of your truck, tattoo, motorbike? Nope. My truck is meant for work not photo albums, my tattoo is meant for me and don't have a bike.
10. Yes in fact the sun has risen in Happyland. Giddy up.

Strong and compassionate mixed with firm and fair. The occasional trip to the mountains and playing hockey in the winter, baseball and golf in the summer keep me active.

Getting a neurotic kick of Canada's Worst Driver and am wondering how they passed their driving tests in the beginning. Father Giles; God has his back so no need to rush.

I am a family man; my children live with me 2-3 days per week and are in my heart and mind 7 days.

My watch alarm is set to ring at 11:11 each day to remember to stop and be thankful for life, family and friends. It stems from a reminder on Remembrance Day of my late grandfather.

Here is me in a nutshell:

"You are important. So are other people, especially if they are in trouble. You have a tender heart, but you know how to establish and keep personal boundaries. You are empathetic and compassionate, but you also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able.

You are deeply moved by the needs of others, but you know that if you don't take good care of yourself, you'll wind up being of no use to anyone. So yours is a thoughtful compassion. You strive to be fair and sensible, taking care of others while also taking care of yourself.

When someone really is in trouble, you like to collaborate with them toward a solution; they do their part, you do yours. You consider carefully, and respond in a sensible way; they do their part, and together you move through the difficulty.

You seldom act impulsively; rather, when a problem arises, you take your time to think through the situation. This contemplative quality usually means that you'll arrive at a diplomatic solution, one that's fair for the other person and also fair to you. It's frequently a win/win situation."
