The one thing I am most passionate about is spending quality time with close friends, scholarly discussions; traveling and adventures. I am also passionate about growing -- people and plants. I enjoy teaching, encouraging and coaching people. That is my personality. I also have a green thumb and love gardening. I live a vegetarian lifestyle and enjoy pairing foods for healthy, hearty meals. I am happiest after a good workout or run, nourished and in step with a higher purpose in life. The most important thing I am looking for in a person is integrity, loyalty and love. I am looking for a woman that is like-minded. I have seen many relationships over the years. The healthiest, happiest ones are the ones where both people are committed to each other and have a mutual respect and understanding of each other and enjoy the same things. The most influential person in my life has been Spiderman. Spidey has shown me how to live life in this world with super powers at my fingertips. The first thing people notice about me is my gentlemanly manners, consideration for others and playfulness. I also have an intense look about me. This comes from my close and deep set eyes and my focus. This inherited look has served me well in business and social environments. I expect Hollywood to call any moment. The best life skills that I offer are: Making friends laugh, encouraging others, being a good friend, and keeping physically, emotionally and mentally fit. The last book I read and enjoyed is What Makes People Tick & Why, by Naomi Tickle. It is an interesting book about the science behind how facial features determine personality. Other than that, I have read all the first year law school texts and then some. I also enjoy reading Dan Brown novels, anything that allows me to help others and educational books: law, medical and travel guides. Things that I cannot live without: Spirituality, friends and family, strong black coffee, dress shoes, athletic shoes and flip-flops (although I enjoy going barefoot), and a notebook and something to write with. A few activities that I love doing are: swimming, surfing, kayaking (any water-related activities), running, hiking and playing. My leisure time is typically active and adventurous. I enjoy hanging out with friends and exploring new places. I enjoy being quiet and cuddling too. The three things which I am most grateful for in life are: Friends and family, life experiences and adventures, health, work and play. I am straightforward and tend to present myself well, I am comfortable with how people notice me right away. Although the one thing I wish more people would notice about me is I can be sensitive and sometimes I forget to smile, even when laughing. When someone reminds me to smile, we both usually start cracking up. I love talking, listening and having adventures. I am looking to meet my soul-mate and life partner. We will have a lot of fun together.
