I'm not great at writing novels, so I imagine I will try to get straight to the point about myself. I'm a very down-to-earth guy. I'm caring, sincere, ambitious, and all around well rounded.

I'm a typical guy in that I love sports. I played soccer most of my life and have followed that up with coaching youth soccer on occassion. I love the beach, boating, or anything that allows me to look at the beach! My perfect mate would have to enjoy the water. By the way, I hate cold weather.

I have a great family and good friends who I care about very much. Through all of life's ups and downs, they have always been there for me and I for them. It's important my partner understands the value of family.

I'm currenty self-employed. The nature of my business is financial but it is truly a career in which I help other people which makes it more enjoyable.

I'm looking for someone who wants a good parnership in a marriage as well as someone who is my best friend. I guess that would translate into "true love." I also want to adore her. Someone once told me if you adore your partner, you have found the right person. I tend to have to believe this is probably true. As I get older, I have really learned it is what is inside that counts much more than the outside. Have you ever watched older couples married for a long, long time? It is amazing the way they interact. My perfect partner would be sweet, sincere, have a pretty smile, be fairly ambitious, love animals, and the beach.

A first date could be just about anything for me. How about a drink at a waterfront bar or restaurant?
