Looking for the fish that I want to swim the oceans with. I like my life, but life is even more fun when shared with someone you connect with on multiple levels. I don't have any little fish of my own, but it is okay if you do (preferrably a reasonably sized school so we don't need a really large aquarium to contain them all).

I can listen to most any kind of music, and dance to a quite a bit of it. Some recurring favorite things to do: Vegas, tropical getaway vacations, comedy clubs, hiking, beach, travel, Universal Studios, workouts, videography/photography, and good movies. I can go from jeans & mud to suit and tie. It is all fun with the right company - is that you?
You don't need to be an athlete (nor do you need to be an anorexic model-type), but I like to stay fit & active so you should have at least some interest in staying active and taking care of yourself. As to my body type - I workout daily and enjoy physical activity. I'm definitely both more fit & thinner than "average" (although with shoulders my size I'll never be "thin"). My profile lists many (although not all) of the activities I enjoy. I'm happy to try/learn others as well. However, my non-stop extreme athlete days are behind me. If your idea of an AVERAGE weekend is a triathlon followed by a couple of hours of weight lifting, followed by some mountain climbing then we're not a good fit.
I am curious by nature and like to explore, but I can also enjoy a quiet night at home with my "significant other" by the fireplace with a bottle of wine or in the hot tub.
I enjoy community service (the non-court ordered kind). Past efforts have included activities like running a "Greening 101" educational seminar, and doubling the size of a grade-school library. I am an active volunteer in my local CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), RACES-ACS units, and Red Cross.
I consider myself lucky. My current job & employer are both challenging and rewarding in every way. I actually enjoy what I do. That said, I would enjoy (wouldn't we all?) having a more flexible schedule. Because of that desire, I just started working on trying to start a new media content publishing business. It's a hobby for now that I hope to grow into a significant business over the next 4-5 years.
Among my many outstanding features: No domestic violence history or restraining orders, never been in jail, have never needed to go to rehab, don't live with my parents, have a job, ex-wife lives on the other side of the country and supports herself (NO "Ex-Drama"), I have my own car, I'm not secretly (or publicly) married...In other words, I'm "Normal" (but I'm never boring). Bonus for those who "click" - I give GREAT massages (Scalp to Feet)
My negatives? I can kill any plant except a weed with my awesome "Brown Thumb" so I'm forced to hire a gardener to look after my yard. On the upside, I'm contributing to the economy that way...
Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in getting to know each other (or just share some of my interests). I answer ALL emails, even if life gets busy.

First Meeting: Some place where we can get to know each other in a low-stress environment. The emphasis should be on getting to know each other without major distractions so we can find out if we want to spend more time together.
First Date: Something fun we'll both enjoy. After all, if we've met and decided we want to date then the first "date" should be memorable (hopefully in a good way).
