I am quiet but passionate, easy going, creative and relaxed. My preference is to relate one on one over parties and crowds. One crowd I do enjoy is at Fenway Park. My positive traits include spontaneity and being a good listener. I'm grateful that I still have my health, looks and energy as I age.

I've been a freelance audio engineer for many years, and now I'm in Boston, teaching my craft. Work is a high priority for me. Sometimes all my free time will be taken up with a project. You shouldn't expect constant attention from me.

Weekend companionship is where I would like this adventure to start. At the moment I feel very open ended about where that might lead, no expectations. I'm ready to travel, anywhere, anytime, or just stick around Boston; I'm somewhat new to the area. If you want to show me your town I'm open to exploring.

I hope you like watching movies, baseball and ballet. I hope you live a healthy lifestyle but also enjoy indulging from time to time. To keep us active you can take me dancing, hiking (the city or the country), to the beach and to yoga. Hearing music is a more of a way of life than a pastime for me, and I'm also up for all the other arts; theater, movies, museums and curling up with a good book. In my perfect world you like to cook (or like to try new restaurants).

My life is in transition, but that is the norm for me. For most of my adult life I have tried to nurture and support talented musicians. Now I am mentoring young adults who wish to enter my profession and it is a great privilege to see them mature and achieve their first successes.

Being humble? Is than an oxymoron?

Recovering from the week.

I used to try to be perfect, but now I'm over it.
