Even though I am searching for something Long-term I am open to all possibilities. I do not want to potentially eliminate the very person I am hoping to find just because of a profile 'classification'. I want to make friends, get to know people, and ultimatley create a long term relationship; however I am in no rush and will take it slow. Please read my profile and hopefully we can talk and see what happens.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes, sayings and beliefs:

"The best thing about being with someone that is right for you...is not what you talk about, it's what you don't have to talk about." - Me (adding to a comment from Andre Agassi)

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace." - Milan Kundera

"The measure of a real mans character is what he would do if he would never be found out" -Thomas McCauley

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it

A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have" -Thomas Jefferson

The things we need to listen to the most are the hardest to hear!

"The quality of a persons life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence" - Vince Lombardi

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi

“Dont measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.” - John Wooden

"There are many things in life that will capture your eye, but very few will capture your heart. These are the ones to pursue. These are the ones worth keeping"


First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I am a very down to earth, laid back and easy going person. I love to laugh and have fun and I have a genuine joy of life!!! I have an incredible life....great kids, great career, mental stability (some would say that is debatable)...now I would like to find someone to enjoy it with! I don't want it to sound like everything is perfect...I have my bad days and can be a challenge sometimes, but, I consider myself a work in progress and I am constantly striving to become a better father, friend and person. Even though I, like most people, have had my share of setbacks in life, I am constantly in the process of evaluating my life and striving to become a better more complete person and I want to enjoy every step on that journey. I am a giver and a pleaser and I am looking for that one person that inspires me to give all of my self again. I am here to date and meet people to enrich my life and hopefully find the one person that compliments my life (and I hers) above all others. I want to make friends, get to know people, and ultimatley create a long term relationship; however I am in no rush and will take it slow. Simply put I am looking for someone to share all that life has to offer...the good and the bad, the fun and the headaches and all of lifes day to day mysteries in between! Let's start as friends and see where life takes us. I am a dreamer, but realistic. I want what all of us really want, someone that loves us for who we are. Not for who they want you to be.

I am a father of two awesome children! I am a very passionate, intelligent and hard working man looking for more in his life. Even though I am very independent, I would love to find an intelligent, passionate and independent woman to share my already great life. I value intelligence, strength (mental and physical) and independence in a woman and find someone with these traits to be very alluring.

I want to find someone that knows my children are my main focus in life and I spend a lot of time with them...between regular life and coaching their football and baseball teams time can seem non-existent. I'm not looking for a mother for my children, they have one. I would love to find someone that compliments our lives and would like to share in all we have and do. Someone patient and understanding that isn't jealous of the time I spend with them. I know that is a lot to ask for and hard for some people to accept, but, they are the most important part of my life and their thoughts and feelings are my priority. I value my time with them more than anything else in this world.

I would like to find someone that just enjoys spending time together doing all of the little things that make life special...a cool afternoon in the fall walking in the neighborhood, going to the grocery store, working in the yard or even walking the dogs in the park. Yes I want someone to travel with and skydive and all of the other amazing things I have yet to experience, but, finding someone that just makes you happy being with them even in line at Wal Mart is what I truly desire. Someone to play tennis with would be a great start! Someone to go the gym with or run at the park together. Someone to go out to eat with or take turns making each other dinner. Someone to go see a movie with or stay home and watch one together on the couch. Someone to go camping, fishing, hiking or horseback riding with. Someone to catch an Astros game with or just go hang out at the park and people watch. Someone that can introduce me to the things she enjoys so we can enjoy them together. Someone who understands that a great day for me (besides being with my kids that is) is watching my Steelers play football, landscaping my house, working on my classic cars or just spending time with that special someone.

I would like to meet for coffee or lunch first to make sure we are comfortable with each other and see if we "click" and then lets go from there!

I never like to limit myself as to what a date should be because there are so many things you can do in a city this size. Let's go to the zoo or the museum, have a nice dinner and see a movie, attend a sporting event, play pool, go bowling or just stroll in the park and people watch. I am very flexible and I enjoy trying new things so tell me what you like and let's experience something new together!

What do you have in mind? Lets talk about it and see where it leads us!

I really enjoy the quiet times together just enjoying each others company and sharing our thoughts, hopes and dreams and then working towards them together. Communication is essential in any and every relationship and I enjoy the lost arts of verbal and non verbal communication. I would also like to add that I LOVE kissing. Finding someone that fits the above and is also a great kisser would be phenomenal!
