I'm just a simple guy, nothing to complicated or hard to understand. I like my boots and hat, truck and country music, what more is there really to say? I'm a T-Shirt and Jeans kinda guy, a father first and everything else running close behind.

I know life is out there and I try to do what I can to live it. I'm not a perfect man and I never will be and I don't ask for perfection in you. I only ask that you be yourself.

I see so many people who say what they don't want or a huge list of what they do want. I did a lot of thinking and figured that wasn't the right thing to do. Instead, I should let you see who I am and how I believe people should treat others, especially how I'll treat you should it move to where we get to meet and maybe more. I figured the best way to do this was to think about how I'd like my daughters to be treated when they grow up and get married and hold myself to that, here it is.

When it's time for me to go,

***I've had a few people say if I am what I've put in my profile, then I should be off the market. I wish it were that easy, as the above is meant for one very specific woman, who I have not met yet. I'm single right now because I simply haven't met the right one. Until I do, I'll continue to search in hopes we cross paths. No, not sappy, just the way it is. Besides, it could be you, until we meet, we don't know.

A simple time, a simple place. It will have stars and crickets, branches swaying in the wind and the moon (that is what we get every night in the summer). Now, I won't promise to hang the moon or re-align the stars. I can't even promise you the crickets will chirp in time with each other. I can say though that we will find a spot within it all to talk, from there, it's up to us.

I will not tip toe through life, I will not arrive at deaths door safely, I will not enter the grave with caution... I will come in full throttle, gouging the pavement, tearing up the grass, trenching donuts into the dirt on two wheels covered in the scars of a life truly lived.
