I'm a man who's lived a rich, full and adventurous life to this point. Curiosity about life and the world around me provided the fuel.

My interests are definitely on the non-materialistic side of life. I'd certainly rather own a day on a mountain, or navigate a new and exciting foreign coastline than participate,(to paraphrase Walt Whitman), in the madness of owning things. I have tried to understand what life is about by experiencing it rather than dreaming about it. This has led me from riding broncs and brahma bulls through years as a television producer, to operating my own cargo vessel in the Philippine Seas, for starters. Now, I live a quieter life, finding my adventures in the worlds of books and film...far too solitary a way to spend one's time. I listen to a lot of music: jazz, classical, the blues and world music. I sail now,(with my dog as first mate), on warm summer days in gentle winds. I read voraciously and generally,(from James Lee Burke to Idries Shaw)and love to discuss what I'm absorbing with sympathetic souls; I write a bit and I love to sprinkle the discoveries of intellect with a sweetening taste of laughter.

I have two goals and they are to enjoy every moment I spend on this earth and to share that joy with another. If you have read this far I hope that one may be you.

A few hours in a quiet and comfortable place, sounding each others' souls would provide us with a warm introduction. From there on, who knows?
