My self-summary
I believe in full disclosure, so the bad news first...I'm hooked on two things. The first: I'm addicted to fresh fruit from the Farmers Market. It's become so bad that I can't stand the stuff from the grocery store, so I have to hit the market twice a week. The second: I'm hooked on Pandora. There's something about having new music fed to me all the time that feeds the amateur musician in me.

Ok, now that the hard part is out of the way let me explain. When it comes to the farmers market, it really comes down to the fact that I am goal and achievement oriented; right now I have been losing weight by changing my diet so I am faster at tennis. Good, fresh food helps!

The music thing; I was an amateur musician more than 20 years ago. I don't play much anymore but if I hear a song I like I come home and knock off the riffs....so I still dabble. If you can sing or play, we'd have a lot of fun. Don't worry, though, I'm not that good anymore so I'm not looking for a partner to play gigs at parties.

Ready for the good news? I've been to cooking school and will dazzle you with my fresh-ingredient approach to meals. I also make a mean risotto; if you promise to not share the secret, I'll share it with you. It's about being patient, and I'm ok with standing over the pot, chatting, drinking wine and stirring for 20 minutes.

I've been called gregarious, have a huge love of life, am inquisitive, clever, funny, driven and full of ideas. On a practical note I am stable, financially sound, can do my own laundry and don't whine; in other words, I am an adult!

I'm looking for someone to be there; someone to communicate with, share life with and laugh with. I want a true partnership, one where we share a vision of where we each can thrive. She'll love that I love to spoil her and she'll adore me back so we both feel good.

Also, there are no disguises in my profile. My main picture is exactly what I look like (a few months old).
What I’m doing with my life
I've traveled quite a bit...19 countries to be exact; ask me where! Biking Italy's wine country and hearing the call to prayer in Turkey were amazing experiences. Here at home I enjoy a night out at places like Lalimes, Fonda, Barbacco or Cactus.

I'm trying to create happy experiences and memories!
I’m really good at
Working, cooking, doing anything that requires thinking, making people laugh, tennis, having fun!
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Currently reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Last read Pursuit of Honor by Vince Flynn. I've read all his books--they are total "guy action" books. I also read regularly read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal on my iPhone.

Love sci fi, drama, action, foreign... OK I like all movies. I admit it.

Music - see part about being a musician. Don't most musical people you know kind of appreciate all music? Its all wonderful to make and I wish everyone could have experienced the feelings of creating music with others that I have been privileged to experience. Aerosmith to Katy Perry, Mozart to Miles Davis. Isn't it all good?
