I am a what you see is what you get kind of guy. I have simple tastes and expectations. I've spent much time and effort getting to know who I am and becoming comfortable with myself. I am looking for/hoping for a woman that I love and adore who will walk beside me through the rest of our lives. One very important bit of information about me is that I've just recently adopted my four year old grand daughter. We do come together, but please rest assured I am not looking for a woman to raise her.

I am honest, romantic, and real

I spend most of my time involved with my children, other family and my business. I also have a love of the outdoors. I spend time snow skiing, golfing, fishing, cyclling, hiking, camping an backpacking. I don't go out to bars. When I'm not working or playing, I'm usually at home.

Being a father and a business man. I also consider myself an accomplished cook. I'm a pretty good handy man and know a lot about some things and a little bit about many things.

My smile and friendly outgoing nature.

I have many favorite books. I've reacently read Kite Runner, The Shack, World Without End. My favorite novel to date is Trinity by Leon Uris. As with books, I have many favorits: Mel Brooks Young Frankenstien and Silent Movie, Dr Strangelove, Lawrence of Arabia, Blue Velvet, Pulp Fiction, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, and recently Mamma Mia. I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly to classic rock. I like all kinds of food.
