Man. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.
Looking for: woman. In age: 42-52
I am an east bay native, grew up in Rockridge and have lived in the area my whole life. I've been to Europe a few times and like to travel to other places too.I am looking for a relationship with a woman around my age, someone that perhaps is also a parent like me. I want to find someone that understands both love and respect and how to treat others decently. I am a trustworthy and straightforward person, but my humor can be sarcastic too. I am very liberal politically and hope to find someone that shares my values.I am a mechanical engineer, work with HVAC and solar. I have designed building systems for everything from hospitals, schools, high end residential, breweries, high tech, laboratories, etc. I got my degree at Cal Poly and I love my job and career. I did "Mr. Mom" for a number of years when my girls were young and I had my own consulting business during that time. However today I have a great job with a local firm here in the east bay. On several occasions, I've visited my girls' school to teach at their classes about science and solar energy. This is one of the most rewarding things I've gotten to do; seeing the young students engaged is awesome. I volunteer a lot with my engineering society; I was formerly the president of our local chapter. My philanthropy with this group includes both leadership and advocacy roles. I am driven to make a difference.I am very passionate about these aspects of my life, but I do play hard too :-) When I am not doing the engineering thing, I enjoy indy/garage rock music, craft beer, traveling, and most importantly, parenting and being with my two girls. I love R.E.M.;little broken hearts". I've been fortunate to have met several musicians from some of these bands, they are so cool. I don't know how to play any *** I aspire to learn how to play guitar someday.I love to cook too.Finally, I must explain that if I contact you with an introduction, it's because I would like to learn more about you and perhaps meet. It means I am interested. But my message won't be very long. I can do the "old fashion" thing here to a degree. I can be charming but only if I know you are receptive. We either need to meet or chat before I can pour it on. So please reply if you are interested. I need to have that feedback before I can be charming. I am pretty open, A good first date could be meeting on a weekend morning for coffee, lunch, or a drink after work. During that first date I would look forward to learning more about what makes you tick and determine if we have interests and values in common. I am a good judge of character and can usually quckly know if I am on the same wavelength with another person.

.. I'm kicking around the idea of a live-aboard boat; yacht sounds pretentious for what I would be spending. I like the idea of deep sea fishing or cruising to the Caribbean in the comfort of my own home.I'm an engineer and recently started working offshore. It’s great being able to pick up live crabs, oysters, and fresh shrimp right off the boat when I get done with my hitch. I like cooking and I’m pretty good at it. My baby back ribs and gumbo are awesome. I eat healthy most of the time but I don’t give up on taste. I pride myself on being a modern Southern gentleman with a great sense of humor. I still open doors and pull out chairs. I love to travel and experience new places. I’ve been to 4 of the continents including Antarctica. My goal is to make it to all 7 by age 45. I still have Europe, Asia, and Africa to go. I like live music, camping, cooking out, fishing, movies, travel, and trying new foods. I like telling and hearing stories about life’s adventures. I don't watch sports on TV very often but when I do it’s with friends and it’s usually the Saints. Attending live games is fun though. I love snowboarding, being outside, crawfish boils, and all the outdoor activities. If you have some other ideas let me know.I'm looking for a best friend, a lover, and a partner in crime. I should add that I want 1 woman who is all 3. I'm looking for someone who is laid back with a great sense of humor, loves laughing, going new places, trying new things, and has time for me to spend with them. I need someone who I can take care of and who will also take care of me. She will be educated, playful, romantic, adventurous, intelligent, attractive, and honest. I want to find my other half and start on our amazing life together… How about meeting for lunch at a location where she's comfortable and talking over a couple drinks.

I try to maintain a balance in my life so that it's not all about work. I have a variety of interests, enjoy learning new things, and broadening life experiences by traveling to new places. While at home, I enjoy grilling with my partner and friends, catching up on my dvr, and updating my iPod w/ new music. I’m also very handy and I’ I also enjoy dinner with friends, museums, film, music, staying healthy, concerts, and I love mid-century modernism & modern design.I’m a man who is emotionally mature and knows what he wants. I’m interested in developing a committed relationship filled with chemistry, laughter, and friendship, while we share life’s experiences together. I’m attracted to a woman with amazing inner beauty, who has solid values, who is genuine, intelligent, fun, and most importantly acknowledges open communication is vital. Someone who understands honesty, trust, and respect are a key foundation to a relationship. I believe in building a life together and creating memories. I’m looking for a great woman who’s compassionate, emotionally stable and knows what she wants."Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back..."‘Do not ***…” list, or outline a list of things I don't like about people. But, to make the best use of everyone's time, I'll highlight an important point in good taste... I’m looking for someone who has "natural" curves (I was asked to explain this, meaning "no implants"). I don't mean to offend if you do have implants, it's just a personal preference and I'm trying to make the best use of everyone's time. To leave on a positive note, here is a favorite quote to share with you: "A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.".. This is a dating site. ;)
