You can tell a lot about a man by the people and blessings he attracts into his life. My life is filled with genuine, loving friends who love to laugh and who tell me every week how sexy, brilliant, witty, and fun they think I am. The past few years have been a period of growth and with that has come rewarding work in a great environment with people who share my values and cherish me.

As you can see, I'm a very happy person who really enjoys spending time with friends.  I'm active, healthy, and robust, and I enjoy working out at 24-Hour Fitness, walking/hiking, aerobics, etc.

Currently, I work as a software applications trainer and writer of courseware while I am starting a business as a voice talent.

Originally, I grew up in Washington DC and Utah.  However, I moved here to Phoenix, Arizona for a new, exciting beginning in 1990.  I've attended college for a couple of years, and I continue to earn my degree in my spare time.

Mostly, I'm seeking friends, activity partners, and e-mail/chat .   However, once we know each other,  I may be open to dating and intimacy.

About the one I'm looking for: Outgoing, self-loving, happy men who cultivate long-term friendships and intimate relationships excite me. I love to laugh, so my man needs to be a smart ass and appreciate that in me. You must love to touch, kiss passionately, and be a confident lover who communicates his desires. It is terribly engaging to me when a man opens himself to share his philosophies and discuss interests and theories about anything at all. It is important to me that a man seeks to broaden his mind and spirit by exposing himself to new ideas through travel, conversation with others, education, art or reading. While I enjoy nights out at a club or cocktails at home, I hope to find someone that makes an effort to make keep his body healthy and robust. To me, that means eating well, exercising regularly, resting (so you're pleasant), and avoiding recreational drugs for the most part. If you know how to ask for what you want and you are emotionally supportive of a partner's desire to grow and improve himself, I want to hear from you.

Interests

My idea of the perfect first date: Let's meet somewhere over a cup of coffee or a beer. We'll sit outside near a fountain or in a warmly lit cafe where we can hear soft, live music and enjoy the evening air. If we hit it off, we'll go somewhere that we can experience something new and still talk during or after. Perhaps, we will catch a musical performance or a standup comic, go to an art gallery or exhibit (and get into each others' heads), or have dinner together at an exotic restaurant.

Leisure and Physical Activities

I like going out to: Amusement Parks, Art Galleries, In Bars/In Nightclubs, Beach, Bookstores, Charity Events, Coffee Houses, Comedy Clubs, Concerts, Live Theater, Movies, Museums, Parks, Restaurants, Shopping Malls, Skate/Bike Parks, Sporting Events, Symphony, Volunteer Events
My favorite physical activities: Aerobics, Boating/Sailing/Rafting, Working Out/Weightlifting, Bowling, Dancing, Hiking/Walking, Horseback Riding, Inline Skating/Roller Skating, Snorkeling/Scuba Diving, Tennis/Racquet Sports, Volleyball, Yoga/Meditation
My perception of an ideal relationship: My ideal man is a tasty-looking beast that not only excites me sexually but stimulates me intellectually and emotionally with all he has to offer and can expect the same from me in return. I envision that we will recognize the gifts that each partner brings to the relationship. Every day, we will take our opportunity to build a nurturing, passionate, supportive, loving, tender, and interesting relationship.
What I've have learned from my past relationships: It takes two men who strive to be in touch with their desires and feelings to be successful. It is necessary to demonstrate mutual respect, admiration, and a supportive nature in day-to-day interactions. Part of the formula for a solid, happy relationship is a strong desire to continuously grow together and separately.
