Growing up in the Midwest and working for the family business, I've learned many valuable lessons about life. That phase of my life has established the foundation to my core values, morals and ethics. I truly follow the Golden Rule; Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. I was raised to be a gentlemen and always treat women with the utmost respect and believe that behind a good man is a much better woman. I am seeking someone with the same values and morals and ethics. Someone who appreciates (and wants) family and possesses true character and integrity. A person who is well educated and ambitious, but not overly so, at the expense of their family or personal relationships. A woman who is comfortable in her own skin and is confident in herself so that she can adapt well in any social gathering, be it with close friends, family, etc. A woman who truly is not consumed with drama and doesn't sweat the small stuff. I am someone who is athletic and active so I would love someone who is the same, and shares the same belief that "a healthy body is a requisite for happiness". I am adventurous and enjoy sky diving, stand up paddle boarding, biking, etc... I enjoy traveling and would love a companion who is open to exploring and trying new things. I would love someone that would enjoy trying out a new restaurant and a nice bottle of wine... followed by either going out to listen to music (maybe dancing) or just kicking back on the deck and watching the stars. I know how to treat women well... I don't believe that flowers need to be given just on special occasions. With the right person, I certainly know how to express and show her just how much she means to me. So if you are out there and if you feel we might be a good match...I am waiting...
