I am a charismatic and charming gentleman. I have had a successful and fulfilling life both in business and personally... I have a wonderful family that I am very proud of. I love to travel; I enjoy fine dining; play golf and an overall active guy. I live life to the fullest... I would like to meet a woman that I can share these things with. I am generous and caring but honesty and integrity are key for me- I live that way and I am looking for women with these qualities. A wise person once said: "Happiness isn't a noun, it's a verb. It is not something you can have, but that you do." Life is just a handful of moments, always diminishing. I don't waste any of them and that's why my life is not a quest to find someone... I see it more as an opportunity I have to be someone. That is how I decide to show up for each and every one of the moments of life I am fortunate enough to have.... every person I meet, every place I happen to be, everything I can choose to do... If I am ever fortunate enough to meet someone who lives their life with a similar intent, I'd like to be in their company. Things I treasure as precious: Honesty, modesty, subtlety... of all the things going out of contemporary style, I treasure those the most. Wood fires, fountain pens, thick writing paper, leather-bound books, double LPs, and a working turntable on which to spin them, stew that cooks all day and fills the house with the aroma of home... followed by a mousse that holds its peaks, or a soufflé that doesn't fall... or a slice of Entenmann's... candles, soft light, fine beer, neat bourbon, well-priced port... but above all of these? Genuine conversation with some who listens, and doesn't simply wait for their turn to talk... and speaks thoughts aloud, rather than simply talks for talking's sake.
