I am a single pharmaceutical/medical device sales representative. Originally from Michigan and a graduate of Michigan State with a B.A. in Communications. Relocated to Arizona in 2001 and reside in Anthem.

Extremely busy during the week with my work activities and I need to pause and smell the roses evenings and weekends. I enjoy travel, biking, hiking, rafting, fine dining as well as good food at restaurants featured on Diners Drive-ins & Dives, good conversation and simply vegging out with someone near and dear. Looking for someone special to take in a concert (rock, classical, or other), theater (Broadway productions or a movie), sporting events, ocean excursions, sunset walks, back rubs (give & receive). Friends first and then ... let's see what develops.

I am #5 out of 6 boys in family. Twelve years of Catholic education and lived to talk about it! Enjoy puttering around in the yard fine-tuning the landscape. Have two shy female cats that I took in off the streets in Michigan--they enjoy sleeping at the foot of my bed but changes could be in order if necessary.

Marriage annulled by Catholic Church and I would be a match with any Christian regardless of denomination. I have friends of other non-Christian denominations. I am not biggoted in any way but I think there may be a greater long-term relationship potential with someone that shares common core values of daily living.

I was not blessed with any children. I'd rather be single, celibate or in a monogamous heterosexual healthy relationship vs sleeping around, worrying about diseases or be in an ill matched poor relationship.

I bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan. I shop, clean, do laundry and take out the trash. Basics: 6'4; 200 lbs; green eyes; full head of brown hair; been told that I appear to be 35-40 years old...lots of vitamins, exercise and a healthy diet. If I meet your criteria, perhaps we can meet for a Starbucks, hike, meal or dinner, converse and see what happens next. If we connect, I promise not to tell anyone how we met! As an active work professional, I do not date co-workers or customers so the window to meet a potential life partner narrows accordingly.

I am honest, trustworthy and have an easy going demeanor. Employment personality assessments identify me as sympathetic/empathetic type with strong analytical and social traits. I scored near the bottom of the scale for being a bold, in your face, confrontational personality type.

Finally recovered from a severe bout of Valley Fever. My prolonged leave of absence from work translated into having to seek a new medical/pharmaceutical sales opportunity. Healthcare employers are none too empathetic when their own employees have an illness. I now call on G.I. Specialists in Phoenix and Tucson.

My employment demands usually have me on the run all week while weekends are spent catching up on household chores and paperwork. I need to get some balance back in my life.

The silver lining to contracting Valley Fever has been shedding some extra pounds -- I'm now at an ideal even 200 and increasing my workouts and pool time.

Two-way conversation. I'm a good listener and well versed on many topics.

Equality in a relationship -- I'll always strive for a healthy balance of sharing tasks and responsibilities.

Having fun -- I am always ready for a new adventure or experience.

My 6'4 height.

My smile.

My green eyes.

I'm transparent and an open book. I have frequently been told by new acquaintances that after conversing with me for a short while, that it seems they have known me for a long time. I usually look for common denominators and shared preferences and experiences in order to establish a foundation for moving a relationship forward.

Food: I have turned over a vegetarian new leaf but still will occasionally indulge in a nice filet mignon. Love seafood & Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. Heck-- I love all ethnic foods!

Communicating with my maker (I'm not in Church every Sunday--I can be in the pew if it is important to you).

Family -- but from a healthy distance.

Friends -- Usually my co-workers.

My two cats Kimba & Sheba. I rescued them from the streets in Michigan and we've been through a lot together.

I am not fulfilled living a single life and am searching for my soulmate to share a happy, healthy relationship.

Tie: Vernors Ginger Ale & Naked Juice Protein Smoothies!

Fulfilling career ambitions on the way to financial security.

Meeting that special someone...

Shopping at Fry's or Costco

Cleaning the house and doing laundry

Reading or watching TV with a cat by my side

Conversing with family and friends on the phone

This all needs to change!

I am not much of a dancer but with the right tutor I'll give it a go.

We have more in common than not.

I'm not a player. I am sincerely looking for a long-term relationship and want to share life with a kindred spirit and kind partner.
