When I was young I was a very successful athlete, it was a big part of my life back in the day, I worked on cars and knew much about them as well, typical guy stuff. In 1978 I got involved in emergency medicine and for a number of years worked in the E R and Burn Plastic unit, at a level one trauma center and other related clinics, now I think very little about sports or cars, my main focus is on social issues.
What do you think it would be like to be around someone that encouraged you to be authentic, doesn't feel the need to fix or address YOUR issues, unless invited to do so, [sometime a person just needs to cry, while being quietly held], does not feel they have the licence to take YOUR inventory and the most important thing of all, a person that feels the emotional and spiritual componant of a person is the most important part?

I am interactive, aware, and pluged in

I research and lecture. One of the questions I'm asked when lecturing to groups of women is, men tell them that, "men are brighter and more capable then women", is this true. This fairy tale has been told since the beginning of time, the answer is NO. I also work with at risk kids. Us adults could learn much, if we would listen to the kids, they really do have something to say.

Interacting with people that I have just met like the checker at a store, the wait staff at a restaurant, the staff on a cruise ship or on the train and doing business on the phone, listening, cooking, understanding issues that people are having and facilitating the needs of kids and animals.

I have a sense of peace and calm.

Any nonfiction books, I get books from all of King Countys 48 librarys, movies that are nonviolent and have a good message. I enjoy ethnic food. I listen to mood music.

The ability to think

My kids

Grand kids

Being around people

My kitchen tools

Going to the Oregon coast at least once a year

How I can give back to the world for the blessing that I have been given.

I don't have a typical day, every day I have is a special day. My best work is done at night, it is now 2:26 am. I don't let time control my life, I haven't worn a watch in about 35 years nor am I ever late.

The more research I do the more I realize I don't know, this is why you will not hear me telling people that I have all the answers.

You are looking for a guy that is not needy, not looking for a mother, understands womens issues and concerns. My main focus is the journey not the destination. The bottom line for me is that I have worked behind the scenes of life and what I have found is that no women should have to endure the dark side of life over and over, if you don't understand what I am talking about, you are one of the the lucky ones. Sometimes you just need a person to share your thoughts with or a soft place to fall and feeling safe in doing so.
