Well about me. I moved back to the Cleveland area several years ago after living in Boston for quite a while. Moved back to help out my family. Still adjusting to the change in pace but enjoying what the area has to offer.

I am an outgoing, fun, intelligent and open minded guy (my biased opinion of course) who enjoys good humor and loves to laugh. I like being active and taking care of myself. I enjoy hiking and being outdoors all year round. I am passionate about life, adventurous and I look for these traits in people I surround myself with. Spontaneity is a plus.

I enjoy travelling and try to go explore as often as possible. Recently vacationed in France which was amazing. Two years ago I was fortunate to go on a 7 week 9000 mile quest across the country. What an amazing experience! Hit all the fantastic national parks this country has to offer and spent most of the time hiking, camping and just enjoying the outdoors. Highlights were hiking in the Rocky Mountains, exploring the incredible parks in Utah (Arches, Bryce and Zion), hiking into and camping inside the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Redwood and Humbolt in Northern CA, and of course Yellowstone. One of those few places that is still primitive and wild.

I love music and playing guitar ranks highest among many interests and talents (25 years of experience and counting). I enjoy listening to and playing many different styles of music. For instance: blues, rock, arabic, indian, classical and spanish (studied in college), flamenco, jazz and metal (what can I say I am well rounded).

I find meditation and yoga (received my teacher's certificate a several years ago) help undue the inevitable damage of everyday life. Enjoy learning and read quite a bit. Big topic for me lately is how the body and mind work together and general health/nutrition. The goal being a healthier and happier life. Assuredly, I still have my vices and guilty pleasures (insert evil villain laugh).

What else, I am into classic muscle cars and am restoring a 1970 Dodge Charger. I enjoy creating things and working with my hands. I design and build custom audio and guitar electronics. I enjoy drawing, calligraphy and many other things I have no time to do anymore. Travel and exploration are really calling me, so I am doing my best to satisfy this curiosity to see and learn more about this fascinating world.

I am looking for a partner who is caring and passionate about life. Someone who values family as I have given up much for mine. Femininity is great but a woman who is not afraid to get outdoors and rough it a bit wins extra points. I enjoy taking care of myself and excercise regularly so I am looking for the same qualities. Interest in music and smarts are a must. We don't need to like all the same things as this helps one grow and find new paths in life, but core values should align.

Come join me if you dare!

Climb the highest peak in Cuyahoga County and/or grab a cup of coffee or a drink.
