About Me

Hello! So yes, I do travel a bit! Would you like to come along? Do you prefer flying, sailing, scuba, off-roading, or getting on a motorcycle? Your choice... True story: I learned to ride horses before I rode a bicycle, and yet I do not listen to country music...I'm a exceptionally content and happy lad, enjoying *people* in general. I know that some of you ladies may have a lot to be grumpy about, have been hurt, and all, and I understand that - but if that's the case and you're *constantly* unhappy, chances are we wouldn't be a good match. While I don't mind helping you with some life baggage as we all have some, bear in mind the zippy convertible has a small trunk to fit it in, the bike not at all, and the 4X4 has dogs in it. Small baggage, please :)I tend to live life to the fullest as best as I can, and have an exceptional variety of hobbies and interests (all of which I am happy to share while having you bring along your own). I have a strong passion for living, a bit of a warm heart, a ton of determination, and great sense of integrity. What about you? What are you like? Have fun, be warm, have some determination and goals in your life and we'll get along great!During the day, I run a $1 Billion dollar business which is a huge responsibility, and yet I do my best not to take myself too seriously. A feminine companion brings me warmth, light, fun, and if that means a little edge, that's great too. Growing up in Europe means I celebrate chivalry; women would never want equality as they wouldn't find the demotion nearly as fun. With that in mind, I get out and do a massive amount of fun, unconventional things, be it in concerts, groups, rides, trips and more. Sarcasm, playfulness, wit and fun are always welcome. If you're cruel to others including pets, women, or relatives, chances are that may be why you're single. While it isn't always easy to be nice, I appreciate those who do their best. Hobbies: let's see... I travel.- not so much a hobby as superfast transportation), enjoy training my dogs (German Shepherds) in "Extreme Dog Sports" (French Ring, Mondio Ring, and Schutzhund, for the curious), camp and hike, love to scuba dive (Lobster Season!), spend time with family and friends, and on rare occasion will enjoy a bottle of wine, visiting art musems and galleries......enjoy festivals...ride motorcycles...make new friends...run...swim and cycle....and a few more things.Pick a genre of music and chances are I've been to a concert recently or a live event - I enjoy traveling to Vegas and gambling on occasion, more because I like the game versus the psyche of "gambling"; I wrestled and ran while in High School and College, and ran marathons and triathlons - Weekend mornings I enjoy running road races. While I have a ton of hobbies, I don't expect you to participate in them, yet may still very well celebrate yours.I do like my lazy bits at home simply enjoying a good TV show or reading a good book or two. Bonfires and Barbeques. I'll gladly work on the car, plane or motorcycle, or build and tinker to keep my mind curious. I can do construction if I must, but I'd rather outsource it like other labor. I was a Boy Scout. I got in trouble for teasing girl scouts. Come to think of it, I still know some Girl Scout management these days...Live and learn. I can farm and garden, though I don't do much of it; I avoid doing my own mechanical work on cars but do a bit of it on the airplanes, boat and motorcycle. I cook and clean, (though I outsource the cleaning as best I can), but baking I save for you, and housecleaning and laundry for my housekeeper. I have hunted, but it's not generally my thing, though I have taught others how to shoot and make sure they enjoy it. I ride motorcycles. I know how to sail, waterski, fish and more, and can navigate my way out of just about anything. I tried learning piano but never mastered it; I enjoyed playing drums for a good number of years. I tend to be very social and make friends very easy.What about you? It would be awesome if you were *positive*, playful, somewhat discriminating, open minded, and gave back when you have the opportunity. I don't live with my parents, so best if you don't either...:) You're a beautiful girl inside and out, so chances are you do your best to take care of what you have.Good news and bad news: I never smoked...I drink rarely and moderately. I will try just about anything, though golf and I have never really agreed with each other. Something fun! Seriously, people - some of you take yourself way too seriously :) What's a date? :) I think people have a tendency to do the same thing over and over again...dinner, drinks, coffee...lame! Do something different! Do something you enjoy. I don't care if it's doing an art walk, going to a concert, picnic or else, doing something creative, or having a new experience, something new and adventurous! You only live once. "dinner, drinks or coffee" is often a sign of a mediocre date, and spell doom.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 33-43

    I'm looking for an ambitious, educated, strong and passionate woman who isn't afraid to show her strengths and doesn't hide from her weaknesses. Simple... right?Here are a few characteristics I’m looking for in my “vixen”- expressive, spontaneous, family-oriented, savvy, polished, experimental, mischievous, gregarious, attentive, wellness-oriented, energetic, stimulating, balanced, curious, aspiring, passionate, lustful, possessive, financially secure, self-reliant, grounded, organized, professional and equally as the bunch combined....absolutely courageous enough to fall fully in love!If you're a woman who can be silly and laugh at yourself, someone who can take life for what it is... an adventure, then we have a chance. A sense for passion for life, laughing, traveling, music, cooking, intimate moments, great conversation and positive people are virtues that inspire me to live life to its fullest. I'm a confident character with edge, determination and never avoid confrontation. I live by my reputation as a straight shooter and guided by my integrity and doing the "right thing". I stand up for others when they need it and always stand by the ones I care about. I'm addicted to passion, love romance and sharing moments, but I am in no way a wimp. I was once a "bad boy" (don't worry, never killed anyone:) and have spent the past 18 years maturing and putting that fire to good use and created a life that both mom and I are proud of! With my undeniable passion for food (I'm an International semi-retired chef with 20 years experience), traveling (lived all over the world), laugh (lots), love (with passion) and life (is short). I have invested my time enjoying the little things in life. I don't sweat the small stuff, I laugh at myself everyday and talk to strangers often. I have worked hard to be both successful in my career and in play, and I absolutely have place in my life for... you ;-)I have turned my passion for hotels and restaurants into a concept development business which I started years ago. I have recently added to my business profile and am currently developing a software for the hospitality industry.To summarize, I'm looking for the person that we're all looking for in our own way. I'm pretty open minded as to who, what, where and when. My expectations are always "half full" and I look forward to seeing who's out there. I laugh in my sleep and almost always wake up in the morning in a fantastic mood!A short quote which inspired me, once upon a time....“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs Decorate a Christmas tree together :)Lol...I’m more of a let’s meet as quick as possible, strange how that’s different online!? How we have this pre-disposed/determined view that this online thing is “seedy”? But if that’s the case, then why is it better to drag it out for 2 weeks, waste our finger strength only to find out that the guy you’ve been IMing is really a 60 year old transvestite (unless you’re into that)? Weird notion, but when and if we met on the streets, in a bar or grocery store, and one of us walked up to the other and asked them out (my favourite way to meet people), we would know almost *** we were interested right? We wouldn’t say, “ok, but before we go out, let’s go home, *** for a couple of weeks and then we’ll meet up and go out!”?Nope, not me, not interested...I need chemistry, body language, and most importantly, I need to meet your energy! After all, yes looks are important to me, I have always dated (what most consider) beautiful women (but never just because of their looks) and some of my best assets are made up of my passion, ambition, success, intelligence, charm and super importantly...my humour! Ergo, my just above average looks (it’s ok, I’m very self-aware and not self-deprecating) is not the best part of me, and my super “hot” guy friends have never been able to keep the attention of the smartest and most beautiful woman in the room like I can :) I’m talking about substance.I lived a long time in Europe, where dating is normal, there isn’t the same hesitation or fear of “is this the one” as there is here (there’The truth is, I’m not excited about going out with “girls” for the sake of feeling good about myself, or getting another “notch” in my bed. I’m 36 years old looking for a woman to share my life with (eventually, so relax :), I want an equal partner with a lot of the attributes I mentioned. But our first date won’’t even be a first date...I don’t know if we’ll even like each other much after an hour, I certainly don’t want either of us to be uncomfortable or feel awkward about our exit strategy! So I won’t invest my day/evening on someone I haven’t met. So the first time we meet, how about we meet on a corner somewhere, no commitment, and get a sense of one another...if it goes well, then we’ll take it from there? :) So if you made it through all of that profile, were able to read through the lines, take some of what I said with tongue N’ cheek, still interested and message me in the next 5 minutes, I’ll probably ask you to go for a quick drink and or meet outside your local dépanneur, and share a bag of fuzzy peaches in an hour and we’ll see if there is chemistry (then we can text and *** want :)
