I'm a dynamic guy who enjoys life a whole heckuva lot! I work for a local company as an engineer (the cerebral part) and I'm also a scuba instructor, swimmer, ocean-videographer, and love the water (my passion and "balance provider"). That's why I've stayed in San Diego for most of my adult life, though I was born and raised in New York. I'm also pretty tall, though in proportion (legs to torso, naughty girls!), so you should be o-k with that.

I place a great deal of value in friendship and know the importance of loyalty. They're the foundation for all that comes after. Though no pushover, I treat a woman the right way and think of myself as respectful and attentive (reciprosity is appreciated!). Once a kindrid spirit is found, then all that follows seems easy, doesn't it?

Do you like movies? God, I hope so. (Mainstream as well as art house. Pan's Labyrinth is my #1!) As well I like attending eclectic events throughout SoCal: Culture & Cochtails at the SD Museum of Art, SD Chamber Orchestra {Jung Ho Park is awesome}, plays, wine tastings, pub crawls (!), etc.

I'm 47 in number of years lived on this planet ONLY. (My birthdate is wrong in the header and the PoF AI won't let me correct it. I tried.) Although I'm a responsible person, my maturation seems to have stopped around the age of 31! I'm open-minded, tolerant, and sincerely like women (as opposed to that dastardly villain, Mr. Misogynist!). I'm simply not out for a booty call, but realize that actions speak louder than words. That's right... I could tell you I do volunteer work with retarded dolphins who've contracted aids, but instead aim to show you the type of person I am.

I look forward to hearing from you!

***NOTE*** Based on past experiences here: If you're intent on making any guy you meet pay for the sins of your previous boyfriends/husbands... please pass me by. I'm a sincere, well-intentioned guy. You'll get that within 5 minutes of meeting me. Life is too short to dwell on past negativities and I'll do my best to make you feel valued.

One possibility: Meeting for coffee/tea at a funky little coffee house, say in Pacific Beach or the like. There we spend a decent amount of time and come to realize that we both like to talk and, hey!, feel comfortable with each other.

Though we didn't mention it on the phone, we decide to move on to dinner since we're having such a nice time. A cool restaurant on the beach, but not too pretentious on the first date... maybe Joe's Crab Shack. Very relaxed atmosphere and conducive toward conversation and fun. And fun we have! When the waitresses start dancing to "YMCA" blared over the speaker system... we both laugh good naturedly and feel halfway like joining in!

After a great dinner we retreat to a cool place up on Garnet for some further talking and sharing. Although we both drove ourselves to the coffee house I tell you how it's in my nature to want to end the evening by walking you to your front door. You smile and say "next time"... because neither of us even has to ask if there will be a next time. I do, however, walk you to your car for the end to an excellent evening.

A guy can dream, right?
