I'm a teacher with a Master's Degree in Health Education. I am honest, loyal, and financially and emotionally secure; I don't believe in drama or playing games. I am a good conversationalist and value the art of true listening as well.

I have an adventurous spirit (from spending an entire summer going cross-country, to most recently zip-lining in the White Mountains), and have an irreverent sense of humor (Jon Stewart cracks me up!). I love nature, animals, and enjoy anything outdoors, such as tennis, hiking (even in winter), kayaking, and gardening. I am equally comfortable in jeans or the so called "little black dress," and still look pretty good in a bikini. While traveling or going out are nice, I'm just as content spending a quiet evening at home with that special someone.

I'm looking for someone who is intelligent with a good sense of humor and keeps himself in shape. If you think we might be a good match, let's meet at The Vanilla Bean for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and find out!

When I'm not working, I enjoy tennis (big plus if you do, too!), hiking (even in winter), kayaking or any type of boating; I love nature and being outdoors. I've tried golf a few times and would love to do more with the right partner.

...getting along with all types of people. I love to socialize and can hold my own on just about any topic (ok, maybe not quantum physics!).

...is that I have an athletic/slender build. I often get asked for advice on diet and exercise.

Favorite musical artists include The Eagles, James Taylor, Bonnie Raite, Michael Buble, Dianna Krall, and Eric Clapton unplugged (I actually enjoy all types of music---except rap). I love going to traveling Broadway shows, interesting restaurants, and movies. In those rare times when I have time to read, I enjoy biographies and nonfiction.

...are love, friends, nature, a purpose in life, leisure time, and dark chocolate!

...the environment; I worry what we are doing to our planet.

...home, unwinding from a busy week.

...that I still look pretty good in a bikini.

...you are a professional man in his 50's, educated, physically fit, with a good sense of humor. Oh, and tall, dark, and handsome!
