New main shot was taken on May 3, 2008.
I'm single, unattached, and have no children. I don't know if I would want to create children at this point in my life (although ya never know; remember Tony Randall becoming a father at 78?), but I do love children, and therefore, women with children need not hesitate to write. Kids love me too -- just ask my nieces!
I'm a certified professional life/strategy coach who helps entrepreneurs get their game on. A benefit of knowing a coach is getting a great listener. Yes, a man who actually listens! You can also describe me as an entrepreneur and occasional entertainer (I sing, play guitar, and I make people laugh). I mainly sing just for my own pleasure, and occasionally on a professional basis. My 5 minutes of fame (not even 15!): My singing voice is in a movie you can rent called "Two Family House" -- it starred a bunch of actors from The Sopranos, and I was the singing voice of the lead actor. My career focus is on coaching and making a difference in any way I can. I can be a

or a

-- which will you bring out in me?
Rather than list a million interests above, here are some of the things I enjoy. I read quite a lot, especially things that will move me, teach me or train me, especially in ways that will help me to make a difference in the lives of other people. I’m very involved in personal growth (such as Anthony Robbins, The Secret and the Landmark Forum). I'm of Jewish heritage. I'm not at all religious, although I believe in a higher power. I’m passionate about music, especially singing (with a pianist or karaoke) and playing guitar. And I would love to sing for you! I'm somewhat stuck in the past musically, with favorites including Sinatra, The Beatles, Elvis, jazz, blues and "old school" R&B (Motown, Stax, etc.). I do listen to some new things but am not a fan of hip hop or rap. (House? Not in my house!) I like swing/ballroom dancing, although I'm just a novice. I live to make people laugh and I like to laugh myself. I also enjoy amusement parks, biking (50-100 miles a week in good weather), watching the NY Giants and Yankees, and (don't shoot me) Howard Stern. I enjoy dining out often and can also cook! I love chocolate, and I’m a coffee-aholic. I do a lot of traveling, especially to California. My favorite TV shows are comedies and anything on the History Channel and Discovery Channel.
It would be great to really click with someone I want to be with all the time and who feels the same way. I'm very affectionate and passionate; I love to kiss, caress, and hold hands with someone I love to be with and who feels the same way. Older or younger, your age is not very important to me, so I have no stated age range. What's important is that we have things in common and connect, and that you have a kind heart, are a good person, and are able to keep up with me -- I like to say "I'm 51, but going on 38." I have a lot of energy, an open mind, and am always willing to try new things.
I also tremendously value my leisure time. I probably sound intensely busy, and sometimes I am, but I also like to do... nothing! It's very relaxing to just lie on a beach or a boat, read or listen (Audible books) to a good book, enjoy the Jonathan Schwartz program on Sunday, or go to the Russian Baths and detox in the sauna.
To elaborate about the whole thing with "Favorites" and "viewing" thing and to speak personally: I surely look far more than I leap on this site -- adding you to my favorites just means I want to make sure I can find your profile again, like a bookmark. If I write, it's because I feel a possible connection worth pursuing. If I don't, it might just mean that after consideration, I feel you're looking for something I can't provide, or perhaps you're on hundreds of favorites and I figure my e-mail will get lost in your inbox. So don't make anything out of it that a guy has viewed you but hasn't written. Feel free to add me to your favorites, as you're guaranteed a note when I get that notice, but please have a picture in your profile. If you are very far away from me, and aren't likely to be in New York, I'm unlikely to be interested unless it's the Bay Area of California, where I frequently visit. Also, I will always reply to your e-mail, and will never be rude or not write back to anyone if I don't think we're a match. It's just the right thing to do! [I live by the Golden Rule, by the way.]
Who I am is the possibility of transformation, laughter and creation.
