I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I like to stay active; hiking, biking, trail running, Crossfit, etc. When it's time to slow down and relax I like hanging out in independent coffee shops, cruising used book stores, a good meal in good company, and just chilling out at home with a good book or a movie. I'd love to find a woman of sound body, mind, and spirit to join me for various adventures and misadventures, intense conversation, and the occasional epic hike or bike ride.

Two additional points for clarification.

One, I'm a very busy guy. I work full time, I train one weekend a month with my National Guard unit, and I'm committed to spending time pursuing my various interests. The best fit will be with an independent woman who also has a lot of things going on in her life, doesn't require hourly status updates, and who agrees that the quality of time spent together is more important than the quantity.

Two, if you're not physically active and fit, we're not a good match. You don't have to be an uber athlete. But you should engage in some sort of exercise at least a few times per week and both look, and be, fit.

You're fit, attractive, intelligent and anything in my profile piqued your interest. What have you got to loose?
