First off I am a man with lots of energy, I workout three times a week, and I have a 11 acre farm that I am improving little by little. I love to hike, bike, horseback ride, paddle board, and garden. I live a very healthy lifestyle, exercise, and diet are very important to me. If you are a junk food junkie, or love to sit and watch movies, that probably will not work. I am a professional photographer, and I specialize in wildlife, so travel is also part of my life. Reading and education are very important to me, and I have written one book about Jack Russell Terriers, and currently am working on a second book of my photography. I like interesting conversations and I am looking for someone that can keep up with me both physically and mentally. I am independent financially, and I am not looking for anyone to take care of me financially, at the same time I am also not looking to support a partner financially. I am looking for someone that will be a life partner, someone to grow old with and enjoy all this world has to offer. Then there are the doggies, I have several and I have bred dogs for over 35 years, so that is a part of my life as well.
