Overall, I'm a relatively simple man. I served in the Army as an Infantry sergeant. We were called to Iraq in 2003, and I filled my full year. Just before we were to return home I got sick with Viral Encephalitis... affecting ability to remember. It has gotten better, but still something I have to deal with on a daily basis. So technically I'm retired.

I do volunteer work for church, family and friends

Chess, Poker, and I've been complimented about my singing

I would have to say my smile. I do my very best to go through life on a positive note.
But at the beach my tattoos can grab some attention as well

I'm going to copy and paste this from my facebook profile...

Food

I'm not very picky with food at all. Italian, Chinese, Cuban, Steak and Burgers... all good!

I'm a pretty adapting guy, I can "do without" most of the bonus things in life.

So I'll say the most important things in life are God, Family, and the tight nit close friends you can share your thoughts and feelings with.
Not sure if that's a valid answer that will bring in my dream girl, but that's what I believe.

I try to find ways to adapt and correct myself from my mistakes, doing everything I can to not repeat them...

And I can say on this "cupid" website I think about finding the woman that I can share my life with.

Spending time with family or friends.
If I'm with a Lady, then whatever our plan might be. Be it out for dinner, concert, beach, movie, bowling, etc.

I don't have very many secrets... I'm one of those open book fellas that are way to few and far in between these days.

I need to say that I was adopted, and all I've ever really wanted to do was adopt. I finally got my vasectomy about 3 years ago.
I've had the privilege of being an uncle since I was 16 years old, and I have an excellent talent with kids, but I really only want to take in a child who is already here on this earth. If you're a single mom, or someone who wants to take in an orphan, that's something that will really make us more compatible.
