I value integrity, intelligence, and a healthy lifestyle. Physical attraction is important, but I think I'm pretty open. You just have to feel good about who you are, it should come from the inside.

I enjoy being around cool, positive people. I love getting inspired by other local artists, and I too enjoy oil painting and creating music. Being out in nature, places like West Tyson and Castlewood, or just hanging out in Forest Park is great. I am a bit of an introvert, I like to be at home. I like quite too.

I do yoga and a sitting meditation practice that I was once very serious about. I generally am a spiritual mutt, but I love philosophy and the deeper thoughts on life. As far as exercise, I try to do a little each day, about a half an hour.
I live on the fringe, I'm not a 9 to 5er. I am tall, 6 feet 7 inches, so that's notable.

If I'm going to be in a relationship, it needs to be with someone who enjoys life. I like outside of the box thinkers, people with a sense of humor, and people who can look inside themselves. I'm attracted to spiritual, fun, and interested people. If you love life, we have a good common ground!

Making art and furniture, growing kale, melons, apple trees, sunflowers, tomatoes (of course), yellow peas, zucchini, and punkins.

Building things, listening to people, and whispering to dogs and cats.

My desert island book is the Shobogenzo. I'm one not very many people in the country who have read this book, but I really enjoy it. Thirteenth century Japanese genius explores China, finds the "truth" and brings it to Japan. It's a collection of essays on the nature of life.

Currently reading The Game of Thrones, book 5.
