My self-summary
A genuine gentleman am I - gentle, kind and considerate. I am also a truly romantic spirit, believing deeply in the power of meaningful touch and sincere connection.

I keep myself fit, my facial hair well trimmed, and my mind open. I am plenty bright enough, and express a sense of humor ranges anywhere from subtle to silly, but mostly lighthearted.
What I’m doing with my life
Working in the architecture profession, volunteering for various organizations with focus on historic preservation, working on my house (an ongoing process). I also enjoy learning, learning, learning, which makes life interesting and keeps one humble.
I’m really good at
Really good at:
- Making people feel comfortable.
- Playing silly games with kids.
- Making up really bad poetry on the spot.
- Kissing.

Fairly good at articulating deep thoughts.

Mildly good at thumb wrestling.
The first things people usually notice about me
My height is somewhat noticed, standing at 6'-2". I've also been told that I have kind eyes, and a very nice (and sexy) voice - even without me doing my Barry White impersonation.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Just got done reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". Never thought I'd be so danged interested in nearly everything. I enjoy seeing movies, and have to catch the really good television (like Mad Men) on DVD, since I don't have cable.
The six things I could never do without
one - the love from my family and friends
two - a sense of wonder
three- a sense of purpose
four - creativity
five - laughter
six - an occasional glass of good red wine
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I might spend a lot of time thinking about this very question. . .

I think about the state of the world, humanity's mission and responsibilities, and why if your feet smell and your nose runs, you must be built upside-down.
On a typical Friday night I am
Usually resting up from a long week of work, and preparing for an active weekend working on my house (yes, fun, fun times).
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I try and see if I can go the entire week before washing the dishes (by hand). One day I'll put in that dishwasher.
