I am not a paying member of SFF at this time and cannot read messages. I can use the chat rooms.
I use a power wheelchair to get around due to an MS-like malady picked up during international travel. Prior to that, I was a semi-pro tennis player and descent surfer.
I am a hopeless romantic, here seeking an LTR. I am considered a trustworthy and honest per. I am reliable. I have an old fashioned sense of chivalry. I won’t play games, lie, or do anything dishonest.
I recently moved from West LA, Ca to Lancaster, Ca. Right now, I’m looking for my last first date!
I have my own management consulting practice specializing in manufacturing industry business systems (ERP) and project management. I help run a non-profit organization as CEO. I'm also the founder of an organization that promotes sustainability, the largest of its kind on the Westside and sponsored by the cities of Santa Monica and Culver City.
I love the outdoors (I pine for camping, biking, and hiking) and love travelling (I’ve logged 2 million + air miles). I have an Engineering background and am a "techie" when it comes to PC's, smart phones, and the Internet. I'm presently a webmaster and site administrator for a Drupal based website. In addition, I have strong handyman type skills and can fix most anything.
I love music and have it playing all day whenever I can, even while I’m working. My tastes are eclectic and include the following favorite music categories/genre: Reggae, Alternative Rock, Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz (NOT the Wave), Blues, Irish Jigs, Folk, Doo Wop, Big Band, Swing, Bluegrass, Novelty/Comedy, Opera (arias), Hawaiian, Gospel, more. Least liked: straight , Operatic plays (non-aria), Country Western.
I'm not presently a paying member and cannot initiate email messages here.
My Ideal Person
I enjoy lively conversations with an intelligent woman. No topic is off limits. I would prefer someone who likes to cuddle, hold hands, and is sensual. I'm recently divorced and an LTR would be nice with the right woman.
Since I live in the high desert, I prefer to make connections within my community, but that does not rule out travel to nearby places like Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
RESPECT for the likes and dislikes of the other is important so no one is hurt, physically or emotionally. Openness to being a travel companion (local and/or international) would be a plus.
I can instruct you on how to go about creating a website, investing in the stock market, start a business, or offer career-planning advice. I can also conduct a full Myers-Briggs Assessment. Change is an integral part of who we are and I want to be a positive influence in the lives that I touch. I desire to help make you stronger, wiser, more successful, and full of self-esteem. I will challenge your thinking and support your goals and ambitions to the best of my ability; I ask the same in return.
If you cannot communicate your wishes to me, written or otherwise, or mostly use 2-4 word sentences (which rarely win my admiration for verbal virtuosity), please don’t bother me. If you are too immature to discuss differences and gravitate toward using "ghosting" or "breadcrumbing" ... please stay away!
I would really enjoy some friendly cuddling while telling each other about ourselves. Intimacy is great, but I want someone I can talk with, get or give advice with, discuss likes and dislikes with, hug and kiss (did I mention I’m a hopeless romantic lol). Intelligence and the willingness to explore diverse opinions are important to me. Openness, where things are shared between confidantes, is a quality I believe is important to a healthy relationship.
Let's meet in a public place and learn about each other before deciding if we might be compatible and open to connecting in other ways.
