Feeling inspired by the U2 song "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", I hope you find what you are looking for! *s*

Myers-Briggs: INTJ (Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging)

There are some good, honest and sincere men still out here....we've just been really busy *s*

I believe in traditional values (thanks grandma) such as being loyal to the person you're with, Family comes first, and that hard work and perserverence do pay off.

At work I am a professional and carry myself as such. However, I must also confess to having a mischievous streak. yes I've ran from security for fun, snuck into semi-pro baseball stadiums at night for a photo opp, What am I supposed to say? IT NEEDS TO BE DONE! *L*

I grew up in god's country (that would be Oregon to the rest of the world) in a small coastal town.

Have travelled extensively both for business and personal ( 4 continents and 12 countries) and I enjoy the outdoors including climbing a few western glaciated peaks like Mt. Hood and or Rainier ( I have climbed Mt. Whitney 14,497). At some point i would like to hike the AT, John Muir and PCT.

I graduated with a BS in Biomedical Science and Chemistry, and have been working in pharmaceuticals for the past 15 years.

I am romantic, strong and confident (not to be confused with arrogent). Spontaneous, and adventurous. All of which has added up to a very rewarding life thus far.

Essentially, I an looking for someone who is sincere, passionate, humble, and confident. A friend that is strong, comfortable with themselves, emotionally stable, can pull off the muddy trail run in the morning and the black dress at night. Is comfortable with me taking the lead (as I am with you), can comfortably acclimate children into an active, emotionally honest, lifestyle.

Man! If I only knew. Hmmm? The men in my family have what we jokingly refer to as "The curse" - which is that we continue to get better looking with age.

It has since been passed on to my sons as the 15 year old is now learning. *s*

How to think beyond my own dreams and desires, and to be strong. "I've realized that the more I think about myself, the weaker I become. The more I am serving a larger purpose than myself, the stronger I become." - Eric Greitens

Raising my sons to be strong, humble and conscientious men.

Raising my daughter to be a Lady of virtue and benivolence.

This varies so much depending on the season

I once rode from Los Angeles to San Diego in the back of a truck filled with water

I have earned my "Funklord" pin, meaning that in my 20's some friends and I went 14 days wearing the exact same clothes and not showering. (I know, I know...)

A former girlfriend and I once visted a nude beach (unclothed)

I have never eaten a Big Mac or Whopper (nor do I intend too)

you want to make a friend. I respond well to someone that reaches out and actually find it endearing. (Despite how my profile reads, until I meet someone I tend to be introverted )
