I am a bit of a nerd and a bit of a nut too. I have a passion for knowledge and a bigger passion for life. I love to learn and I love to laugh.

I was married for 31 years until my wife died three years ago. I am financially secure, semi-retired, and still own a business with about 50 employees. I teach college part time and volunteer time mentoring start up businesses just because I love teaching.

I am as comfortable in a room full of Ph.D's as I am in a room full of truck drivers. I am a blue collar guy who just happens to have a good education.

I like fine dining but I love to cook myself. Hey ladies, what more could you ask for: a guy who cooks and owns a chain of maid service franchises.

First date would probably be traditional, maybe dinner and a movie. After that, I like the out of the ordinary. I like to go to major and minor league baseball games, concerts, museums, frozen yogurt, book stores, political events etc.
