Personal Info: At 46, I have retired from 20 years as a volunteer Fire Fighter, After 27 years I am still working in Youth Ministry (Specializing in Teen Problems) also looking to retire from soon. I have maintained my career in Advertising and Marketing for almost 30 years. I have been blessed to have lived the lives of many men through so much I haven't listed and through it all I have been a hopeless romantic. After an awesome 20 year marriage, I am again in need for some to love that I can dote over for the next 20+ years. My hobbies are vast (Short of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with essentially a bed sheet on your back) I’m game for almost anything, and my love for life is a glass that can not be filled but I keep trying. I need some one with the energy and fortitude to be part of the roller coaster of life. Some one to sit next to me with her hands up screaming into to the unknown with me. I promise life will never be boring and that if you’re the one, I Will Love You Forever. Don't like chatter or small talk; I like deep conversations that go on for hours, the stuff of meaning. I am usually the life of the party, but I do not drink, just never got into it. And I can be equally as happy sitting quietly in the forest all day. I went to Art College in New York City in the early 80's, for Advertising and Marketing, and experienced life in all its grandeur and excess. I have actively given relief aid to every major disaster in the Southeast since Hurricane Andrew as either a fire fighter or relief worker. And there are many other things to talk about. I DO NOT tell you these things because I want to boast, it is to let you know this is not a person you can CHANGE. I do what I do and serving is all I know, the best you can do steer me in a direction that requires both our services, or just hold on for the adventure of your life. I force no one to join me in my endeavors, but you are always welcomed. I might sound busy and I am and as my future plans begin to unfold a new, I am looking for that person of welcoming warmth, a saint like gift for patience, a Childs eye for spontaneity, adventure and wonder and a LOVE for anything you embrace, whether family or charity or hobby. Some one who does not need doting over but will let me do it anyway, because she is the saint of patience. Some one who cares equally about her Mind, Body and Spirit. I am not looking for some one whose cup is full of the spirit and not full from cup cakes. Oh and by the way, I am blunt, if you have seen what I have seen in my life; you know there is no time for untruths or not asking for what you want. I also need that special some one who can slap me upside the head when I am being rude or inconsiderate, it doesn’t happen often, but it happens. I have over 70 immediate relatives with in 15 minutes of my house and that is just half of my Mom's side. Scared yet? They are welcoming and loving and can explain why I have such a vast list of hobbies. I do not like to Minch words, could be taught a lesson or two in small talk, but I am who I am and everyone who meets me, always meets ME, not a facade. No time for platitudes or facades, life is short, got to get on with living. You want to know me, I like long walks, 2-3 hour walks and you can ask me anything, I rarely if ever get embarrassed. My industry has taught me to be a great BS'er, but I am a bad liar, I never could marry the two together. My Life is so full of Life and Family and Friends and there is always room for more family and friends. There will ALWAYS be room for some one to Love and Dote over. I haven't dated in a quarter century, so I probably said stuff I shouldn't have, Oh Well. I am who I am and that's what you get. I can promise you I won't bring you roses, BUT I will plant you a rose garden, I won't sweep you off your feet, (backaches) BUT I will shock you into surprise and wonder. Support me, Love me and Be Kind and I will give you everything with in my reach, (Metaphorically) to keep you happy.
