Wow, already two years in this city? I'm so happy I moved here! Three years ago, I was in Saudi Arabia, trying to find my next job and experiencing from afar the death throes of my marriage. Those issues are now settled, and I'm in a great city with lots to do and lots to learn! I'm looking for a smart special someone to spend time with, and to form a relationship with.

I'm an avionics technician, thanks to the USAF, now working on commercial aircraft. I'm a divorced dad of 2 awesome grade-schoolers, but unfortunately for me, they stay with their mom in San Diego. I visit once or twice a month, and they visit on school breaks. I'm also working toward an engineering degree at the U of A.

Technical things; wiring, electronics, most detailed manual tasks I set my mind to. I love building things (what's fitting is that my current makeshift ottoman is a tub of Legos), fiddling with my computers, working on my car, word games, and even cooking when I have the time and the guests to do so. I like playing guitar, but I wouldn't say I'm really good at it.

Apparently I'm good at chemistry and calculus too, if you need a tutor.

I suppose that it's my height, though I'm not that much taller than average.

Spicy! I'm no longer the picky kid I used to be. I'll at least try most things that aren't fungus or pickled. I love Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican food

My kids, coffee, internet, my iPod, a dishwasher, and tools

I'm probably thinking about what I need to work on for tomorrow. Or why am I procrastinating again and not working on it?

Working. I'm doing school and work full time, so my weekdays and weeknights are pretty packed. I'm a member of a few Meetup groups, and often meet with them on my days off.

you like me so far, or are interested in anything I am interested in. I'm not all that outgoing, so I'm not really one to initiate online conversation with someone new. I'm very much open to talking though; say hi!
