Although I'm far from being heavy (104 lbs.) and 5'2", you can generally find me in the kitchen whipping up something special - entertaining is something I love to do. I worked for a very large law firm on Miami Beach for over 15 years and developed a case of "law burnout". I decided at that time to take on a totally different direction and was offered a position as the Director of Entertainment and Special Events for a successful special events company on the east coast of Florida. After moving to Naples, I became involved in the entertainment industry on a much larger scale, producing ooncerts and festivals with nationally-known artists. Because of my occupation, my taste in music varies....everything from Motown to Charlie Daniels to The Beach Boys. I've slowed down my pace recently and joined a special events company in Naples where I work part-time planning private and corporate functions such as weddings, holiday parties, etc. Working for this company allows me to remain in town...now I primarily travel for pleasure. Being from N.Y., I'm very assertive and outgoing; the word "shy" is not in my vocabulary. Moving to the west coast of Florida from the east coast of Florida was "eye-opening"....super nice midwesterners with laid back attitudes make up the majority of the west coast so I felt like a "small fish in a big pond" when I first got here....so, if you're looking for someone with a laid back attitude, that's certainly not me!

I'm as comfortable in a pair of jeans as I am in a****ail dress, and would have as much fun in Disneyworld as I would at a high-end charity gala.

I'm looking for an honest guy...someone who listens and doesn't just "hear"; a great sense of humor and an outgoing personality are "key"... If anyone's interested in a spitfire from N.Y., you found the right girl....the lovely young lady on my left is my youngest daughter....

I have no real expectations for a first date other than the fact that we're able to talk....my "ideal" date would be dinner at a fine dining restaurant with a great atmosphere but that's not necessary for a first date; a cup of coffee or a martini works for me. You should be able to tell if you're compatible with someone within the first hour......why agonize over a meal if you're not feeling it...
