I'm one of the few true Arizona natives, born and raised in Phoenix. I love it here, although I'll admit the older I get the more unbearably hot those two or three summer months seem to get. Good thing Flagstaff is only a couple of hours away.

I'm a very creative person. Art, design and creativity in general is my passion and my profession. I love what I do and wouldn't dream of doing anything else. I have three incredible kids that I love with all my heart and I'm fortunate enough to have them home with me 50% of the time.

I'm somewhat adventurous and love outdoor activities. I've skydived, zip lined, repelled down mountains and waterfalls, cliff dived etc. Never surfed or bungie jumped but I'm looking forward too soon. I also enjoy working on a multitude of projects around the house.

I'm interested in a girl who is fun to be around, down to earth and who is self-assure without being conceded. Someone who is attractive and takes care of herself, I'd be lying if I were to say that looks do not matter, still looks aren't the most important thing. I value honesty most. A girl, who is not afraid to speak her mind, however at the same time isn't too demanding or controlling. You don't have to be into the same things that I'm into. Just be yourself.

Maybe this is all a little too much to ask. I'd settle for a girl that is about a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale, 1 being saccharine sweet and 10 being bat $h*t crazy :)

like most people I'm into music. I like a wide range of styles of music. I'm not to crazy about Country-Western and Techno, although to be fair I can tolerate small doses depending on the environment I'm in. Just don't expect to find any of that stuff on my I-pod.

I'm not big into sports but wouldn't hesitate to join a softball team or check out a Diamondbacks, Suns, Coyotes or Cardinals game at the stadium for no other reason but for the experience. I'm just not much of an armchair jock.

ideally a first date would be over coffee or drinks in a relaxing atmosphere where is easier to talk and get to know someone. I do like going out for food and drinks. I love all types of food and am always open to trying new things. On the flip side I am perfectly content cooking dinner at home then popping in a good DVD and sprawling out on the couch for the evening.
