I’ve been told I’m one of those ‘nice guys’, personable, considerate, respectful, authentic, a good sense of humor, and a bit of the old fashioned gentleman. I’d say I’m also somewhat independent, adventurous, with a generally positive, if not jovial attitude. When someone gets to know me they will also see that I tend to have perseverance and a strong drive. While I take my responsibilities seriously I try to incorporate humor and fun into all that I do.

I love the mountains and being outdoors. My first choice with free time is to be physically active. I'm an avid bicyclist, mountain biking and road. I like hiking, cross country and telemark skiing. I also enjoy a variety of other activities, going out to dinner, movies, plays, concerts, being with friends, and good conversation. With my down time I like to read and listen to music.

Trying to live the best life I can, and do as much good as I can (can't seem to shake that karma thing). I spend most my time working and playing. Good thing l like my work, and love my play.

Getting along with others, and helping them when they need it.
Planning and getting things done (a work thing).
Making people laugh, being sensitive to others' feelings.
Numerous sports (I'm competitive, enjoy the match, but don't mind losing.)
Being a good parent.

A close and significant relationship

Home relaxing from the week, or with friends.

...would only be to someone close to me.

My desired partner is spontaneous, energetic, expressive, with a sense of humor (well, at least willing to laugh at my attempts at humor), who would like doing various activities together and/or just be together.
