I'm a well-adjusted, easy going person with a great sense of humor and I believe the best way to solve a problem is to sit down and talk about it. I have very little baggage and feel the past is a learning experience and not a place to dwell. I appreciate kindness, and understanding and I try to live in the moment, looking forward to the future, knowing that changes are inevitable.

Respect for the feelings and opinions of others is important in the success of any relationship and I try to always keep this in mind. We can agree to disagree on any level and still maintain a loving partnership. My family and friends are very important to me and I see them often.

My interests include sports, (football and baseball in particular), movies, reading, travel, hiking, biking and many types of music. I would love to learn to play tennis.

I have travelled a lot and have visited Yellowstone, parts of the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, Hawaii and Vancouver. I love the lakefront in summer and warm beaches in the winter and enjoy boating, swimming, snorkeling, and riding my bike on many of the local trails.

I live in St. Charles but have no problem relocating should the situation require it. Distance should not prevent us from taking a chance on what may be the best one we ever took.

Each of us is an individual first, and should be given space to be ourselves and to pursue those interests we have come to enjoy. I am an affectionate person who values all of the aspects of intimacy and I hope to find an equal partner who believes, as I do, that memories are better if created and shared with someone we love.

A first date would be at a place where we could talk and get to know each other, somewhere relatively quiet with not too many distractions.
