To be honest, I am completely new to this on-line dating scene. I am not sure where this will lead, but I figured it was time for a change and to try something new, so here I am.

Words that have been used to describe me include: honest, passionate, down to earth, a gentleman, caring, very sensitive, a go getter, a great listener, flexible, a compromiser and a risk taker.

I am a hard worker but I know how to play as well and I believe in a good work life balance. I love the outdoors, long walks on the beach and cozy nights cuddling by the fire

It is my hope to meet someone special that I can share these things with as well as much much more.

I have several things that define my life at the moment. By day I am a Director of Operations Finance in a BioTech / Life Sciences company in the Bay Area. At night, I coach a U19 Competitive travelling Club girls soccer team. In my spare time, I love anything athletic, especially hiking; I am an avid Giants and Raiders fan, season tickets for both; I like playing cards and just simply relaxing in front of the TV watching my favorite shows.

listening, making people laugh, supporting the feelings and decisions of my partner, being honest, fighting for the things that I believe strongly in, massages, solving problems and finishing the things that I start

The first things people usually notice about me is that I am quiet, shy, a gentleman and very attentive to the needs of others. Once you get to know me, you will see that I am witty, confident, a great listener and alot of fun to be around.

I love to read and I enjoy reading anything by John Grisham or anything that has to do with real life survival or heroism...currently reading The Girl who Played with Fire, the sequel to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Movie days are one of my favorite things to do - some of my favorites include Godfather, Braveheart, Star Wars, Hangover and any James Bond movie. I enjoy the theater, I am a rocker and I love seafood, sushi and cajun jambalaya.

1. True Love and companionship
2. My kids
3. A place where I could go hiking
4. A good book
5. My TIVO
6. My annual trip to Disneyland

how I am going to spend my lottery winnings, once I win the lottery of course; what my next big challenge or adventure will be; and of course, the biggest question of the universe...which came first, the chicken or the egg?

On a typical Friday night I like to relax by having a nice dinner out with a good bottle of wine. Cuddling on the couch with a good movie on the TV is enjoyable as well.
