A few things about me:

I know where I want to go in life, but I have found that the road of life is never a straight line.
Used to be a Human Resources Manager, but went back to school for Software Engineering and am now pursuing my new career
I recently moved home from Bermuda where I had been living and working for the past year and a half.
I have played drums semi-professionally but now I write music as a hobby.
I have worked very hard on my character (and it is important to me that you have too).
I'm both intellectual and adventurous...which means we might have a deep conversation just before jumping out of a plane or speeding down a ski hill.
Having said that, I do also enjoy a night in cooking dinner and watching a movie.
I am very loyal, which has burned me once or twice, but made me believe even more in loyalty.
I’m full of good surprises…for the right person.

Looking for that special someone. Let’s start with a great friendship and see where it goes. I have to add...I really appreciate a girl who has more to her than just "I'm sexy". Now, I like a sexy girl as much as the next guy, but that's no where near enough. I need a woman who really understands that great relationships don't just fall out of the sky. It takes work to make it great...but if you're willing to...it can get amazing.

Oh, and...
I look exactly like my pictures (maybe even better in person ;) )
I'm not prowling for one night stands...too cheap for my taste.

After reading a few profiles...to all the women on this site that have been stalked, received nasty messages, propositioned, and whatever other crap guys have done...I apologize on behalf of the nice guys on here...not all of us men are like that. Some of us actually are looking for the real thing, are nice guys, and can handle rejection (shocking, I know). I'm not interested in being God's gift to all woman...just one.

Some quotes I like:

"But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil."

"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction."

"You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims."

"With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music." -Albert Einstein

"I think it's interesting that 'cologne' rhymes with 'alone.'" -Demetri Martin

"I like parties, but I don't like piñatas because the piñata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there's a donkey with some pizzazz. Let's kick its ass. What I'm trying to say is, don't make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did." -Demetri Martin

Something casual...good conversation over drinks and/or food...gotta be friends first!

PS: Yes I have gone skydiving...highly recommend it...but not on the first date!
