...and there's a one in two chance they lived happily ever after. I take care of my 11 yr. old son full time...he is quite a character and I couldn't be happier being his dad. I got lucky and have the best behaved kid in town (don't know where he picked that up from). Our house is 1/4 block from the beach in OB...love to run into locals on here. I see myself meeting a cute single mom surf diva (not required) and just being very happy (required). I can wait as long as it takes...as long as I'm not an old man because I don't know how sexy I'll look in diapers.

I am an east coaster...grew up in NY/NJ and have been here for many years. I am an optimist and stress very little. I've been described as "not the too nice guy, not the total prick...but the sweet spot right in the middle". I am respectful but not a push-over, confident, outspoken, articulate and candid. I will keep you on your toes and always laughing. I'm laid back but also ambitious. I'm open to many things so I'll refrain from listing hobbies, I'm good to go for outdoor adventure days and indoor comfort nights, cooking, little TV maybe. Indoor adventure nights are pretty popular too however. I just bought a ski/fishing boat with a little cabin in it...love to go surf the point, fishing the kelp beds or wake boarding at the river. We snowboard a lot in the winter and ride dirt bikes/quads.

If you're not busy living... you're just busy dying!

Keeping a positive attitude and maintaining harmony in my world. I can make, build or fix anything! Working around the house, not working around the house, surfing, snowboarding, cooking, surprising you and a couple other things that may also fall under surprising you ;-)

A woman I just adore.

You must be the type of person who is in a good mood most of the time. I can't stand dwelling on negativity because it's just not as fun as being positive and a little cynical. If you are sexy, clever and have a sharp wit...we will get along just fine. I like outspoken women who are not very conservative or shy. Oh one more thing...be a firecracker in the bedroom or you'll never keep up!

Contrary to what my brand of humor might suggest...I am looking for something real ultimately. I am also down to have fun in the meantime with out a lot of complications and I am not one to leap into serious relationship mode right away but when I come across the right woman I will hold on to her and make it great...looking forward to it.
