I'm a normal fella, who wants to find the right woman to share my life with and to have me share hers. I have both a fun side and a serious side. I have a deep belief in God and Christ. I am a very affectionate man, and I am looking for a woman to inspire my heart and mind. If we can "click" on those levels, then who knows where it can lead?

I'm a baseball and softball umpire for youth up through college, and a basketball referee for youth up through high school. I love my work. There's nothing better than going out onto more green grass than some city kids see in a week, or going into a gymnasium packed with fans, watching a game being played, having the best seat in the house, and getting paid for it! How great is that?

I also am a Christian Counselor. Helping people get through their problems, and letting them have a ray of hope to live by... that is just about as exciting as watching a home run or a basket at the buzzer!

Outside of work, I learn day by day how to be a better man, and hope to keep on learning a little more each day. Now, all I need is the lady to share it with. I hope you're out there.

Looking at the big picture of things... While everybody else sees the trees, I usually can see which way the forest is growing. Unfortunately, people usually don't want to change the patterns by which they live, and so they end up with the consequences I foretell... it's sad to watch people you care about get hurt. That is my yoke, I guess.

I am VERY gregarious, probably to a fault... oh, and they notice my vocabulary in short order.

Books... just about anything. Mysteries, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Sports, History and books about relationships and self-improvement. And the best book in the world, HIStory, the Bible.

Movies... anything is good with the right person next to you. I don't really enjoy subtlety in movies, though... Character studies don't turn me on. I enjoy historical-based or futuristic/fantasy themes in both my movies and my books. Drama between people or events make me think, and I love good conversation based on events, either fictional or reality.

Music... anything but hip hop or rap. Country, classical, oldies are great.

Food? Heck, the only food I don't like is Mac & Cheese.

Six, huh? Okay, since I already specified God and Christ, I won't reiterate it here. Keeping strictly to the Earth-bound.

1. Music... when I don't have it playing, I'm usually humming, singing or whistling.
2. My mouth... I mean, I couldn't smile without it, and I love to smile and laugh.
3. Great Conversation. I could not see going through life without interchange about current world events, current family thoughts, past or future considerations, etc.
4. Books... I am a voracious reader.
5. Dreams... I am always trying to think of what or where I will be sometime in the future. By enjoying today, and dreaming about tomorrow, I can find pleasure in all of my days, even when things aren't going perfect.
6. This is the place where I want to fill in the name of that special lady who makes my heart flutter just to think about her, and hers flutter just to think about me. But... then again, when I've found her and she's found me, I won't be on this site anymore, will I?

I just spend a lot of time thinking, period.

Umpiring or refereeing a game, and then relaxing afterwards.

Okay, a couple of things to get me bounced out of the male union: I WILL ask for directions and I DO read instruction manuals... does that make me a bad person?... oh, and I am PROUD to say I like Barry Manilow. But no, I never owned a Pet Rock, so I didn't sink to the lowest of the low.

You want a man to share with you and you are willing to share just as much. I want to talk with you for hours on end like our voices were going to fade away tomorrow. I want us to hold each other like we can't bear to let each other go. I want us to live like we were dying, and love like it's meant to be. I know, I'm a romantic... but hey, why not shoot for the moon?
