I am interested in all facets of life. I really enjoy the beauty of Southern Oregon, USA as well as the many parts of the world that I've seen. Travel is an important part of life to me when I have the time for some rest and relaxation. I also enjoy the arts very much and have a passion for reading the classics and watching artistic films. I like to paint and draw and write during the winter weekends. In regards to the outdoors, I enjoy staying active and in good health. I like the thrill of snow and water skiing, mountain biking and tennis. I also like to make time for other less extreme activities such as kayaking on quiet mountain lakes, walking along sandy beaches and hiking to beautiful vistas and waterfalls. I enjoy photography and try to have my camera with me so I can record the priceless and unforgettable images I come across in nature. I enjoy good conversation therefore, I am also very comfortable in social settings and appreciate the importance of experiencing cultural and community events such as symphonies, ballets and theatrical plays. I also love going to various contemporary musical concerts on occasion. I guess you could say that I like to nurture balance in my life. My friends tell me that I am a very calm and caring person with a strong sense of humor. I love to laugh and smile because life is wonderful and should be enjoyed. I believe in treating people with kindness, respect, generosity and sincerity. Although, I also believe that a man's family is by far the most precious gift in his life and it must always be protected with strength and determination. At the same time, one's family must also be treated with the utmost tenderness and loving care every single day and every single night.

In thinking of love, I yearn for romantic, sensual evenings with candles glowing warmly as I gaze at the woman of my dreams. I hope to meet this wonderful soulmate who can share some common interests, activities and goals through this internet service. In my imagination, she will be my closest friend, companion and lover throughout this lifetime. Mutual trust, respect and honesty will be paramount. And if fate would have it be so, I would also hope to create babies with this woman so that our house will be filled with great joy, love and the laughter of children. Please write to me if you share these same dreams.
