"INSECURITY LEADS TO JEALOUSY, JEALOUSY TO ANGER, ANGER TO FEAR AND FEAR LEADS TO.... LOSS!!

1st off, I have a wonderful "daughter" Kara who is 21. She is not mine biologically but I was married to her mother and helped raise her from the ages of 7-12. I am very proud of her and will always consider her my "daughter." It made me feel great when she told me and her dad on her wedding day that her day was made because her 2 dads were there. I feel so blessed to have her in my life and am looking forward to the day I become a "grandpa" lol. OBTW.... she is due New Years Eve!

Now, with that being said, those that KNOW me tell me that I am open, honest, easy going and live life 1 day at a time. I mean, you can make plans for tomorrow but unless you wake up to see it you can't live out those plans! I have always been a people person and being that I am in music I love to entertain and put a smile on people's faces. Now some other things.... I do not associate myself with people who are JEALOUS, PUSHY, SELFISH, OR FEEL THE NEED TO BE IN CONTROL! I will not change who I am for anybody or anything! As far as drama goes, its a part of life! I don't go looking for it and I don't try to cause it but some people seem to thrive on it, like they can't live without it! It's how you REACT to it when it happens! I am also a very respectable person in the sense that I show it and give it unless shown otherwise! If I am dating someone, I date THAT person and THAT person only! Right now I have FRIENDS in my I Am Looking For box because I will not become involved with someone without getting to know them 1st. I think this makes sense don't you?

And 1 more thing ladies.... sorry but I am NOT a match if your looking for a biker! I have nothing against bikers, I have many friends who are, I have lost 2 very close family members and I don't ride for that reason!

This is the kind of woman I am attracted to and match well with.... 1 that has a personality! As long as you be yourself and have a sense of humor we'll get along just fine, (cuzz I love to tease and flirt and kid around lol). AND OH YEAH, I'M A BIG FAN OF MAKING OUT! Anybody ever heard of the country song from Jeff Bates, "Long, Slow, Kisses"? Thats what making out is all about lol! I would love to meet women who are sports fans also, I have a love for many differents sports. I love to cook and it would be great to find someone that does too and knows HOW too lol. And you MUST love/like music! (More on that below).... Basically what I'm looking for is someone to spend some time with, just hang out and do something either planned or spur of the moment.

I am a veteran of the U.S. Army and was stationed in the old West Germany and in El Paso, TX. I did my basic and AIT in Ft. Knox, KY. I am very proud to be an American and what we stand for and I strongly support our troops stationed around the world in our constant fight for freedom! My DJ service is called 3D Productions DJ/KJ Services! I have at my use over 10,000 songs for Karaoke/DJ, and specialize in weddings, anniversaries, b-day parties or any special event! I love sports, especially NFL (Dolphins, Colts & Cardinals), Nascar (Dale Jr.), MLB (Reds, T.B. & Indians), NHL (Detroit Red Wings) and I'm a huge Ohio State fan.... MUCK FICHIGAN! My friends say I have a good sense of humor and a great personality, and I value my friendships very much! I am also a pet lover, especially dogs! I have a 13 yr. old male Golden Retriever named Copper and he has been with me since he was 6 months old!

As far as romance goes this is where I'm a BIG pushover! I like to wine and dine, buy flowers, send cards, open doors, leave little notes etc.... and especially be spontaneous! OH YEAH, DID I SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MAKING OUT? Lol.... I have come to find out that women like a man who is just as creative as he is old-fashioned! DOES ANYONE OUT THERE LIKE TO BE SUNG TO? My female friends tell me how sweet & caring I am and it makes me feel modest to a certain degree because I think of it as me just being me because if nothing else I will guarentee that I will make a great friend! I feel I have always had a heart full of love and a soul for compassion, neither of which is a sign of weakness but just the opposite.... STRENGTH!! GOOD LUCK TROLLING THE WATERS.... PEACE & LOVE, D!

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SHOW:

The Country Gentleman Show was formed in July 2003 by my good friend Gary Gray. We sing country, rock, southern rock, blues and some bluegrass. The Show consists mainly of Gary and myself. We do, from time to time, feature guest performances that we include in our bigger shows. The Show was formed on the basis of the way alot of performances are done in places like Nashville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, TN. It's a completely digital, vocal performance show (NOT KARAOKE!!) with a 1200 watt sound system where we get up on stage, sing and perform exactly like they do down in TN.

Wow! There are so many things to do on a first date anymore but what I think it all comes down to is communication! I'm pretty flexible when it comes down to what to do on a 1st date but I really don't think it matters what you do as long as there is good conversation! Going to a movie, a concert, a ballgame or even for a walk is just a bonus if the conversation is good the whole time because thats the only way to ever really get to know anybody! But I can promise you this.... whatever we do I will make sure we have a damn good time doing it!!
