I am easy going, open-minded, love to laugh, have a positive outlook on life, love being outdoors and enjoy stimulating conversation. I have an entrepreneurial mind, try to see things from a different point of view and occasionally take the road less traveled...

I am a Marin native but not pretentious or cocky. I am confident, self-assured (vulnerable at times) and outgoing. I am looking for an extrovert or someone who likes being around extroverts to share new experiences and adventures - hiking new trails around the Bay Area, road trips, sporting and cultural events, tourist-y things in SF and anything else you can think of I am willing to try...

I eat generally healthy, work out 3-4 times a week (but I'm not a gym rat) and stay active to keep fit - hiking, tennis, golf, jogging. I prefer somewhat the same in a partner - no couch potatoes please!

I am not just looking for an activity partner but eventually a long term and meaningful relationship. But to me it all starts with friendship, compatibility and enjoying similar interests.

There is no typical Friday night - I enjoy new experiences and can have fun doing almost anything. But lately has been dinners, live music (even dancing!) or just relaxing with a movie at home

My perspective on volunteering at the Marin Humane Society (feeding dogs in the a.m.) is not that I want to take them all home but that I made their day and they made mine...

You want someone fun to do stuff with, are open to try new things, you are eventually looking for a long term relationship and you think there is potential for us.

If I message you it's because I found something meaningful in your profile and I think there might be potential. I do not "shotgun" out canned or scripted notes to all the women I find attractive on the site (I've heard that happens). If any woman sends me a message I ALWAYS respond. I think it takes courage to initiate contact and I respect (and appreciate) that.
