Hello, I've been single for a couple years, and am new to the whole "dating" scene, looking forward to making new friends and connections. Moved back to Philly after living in Portland, OR for six years. If not for the overwhelming needs of my children, would have probably stayed out there. Some things you cannot do without the help and support of family. I am a carpenter/contractor/handyman/superdad...obviously, it can get a little hectic trying to meet the needs of my children and dealing with life's curveballs. My social life is usually integrated with my children's. I love what I do for a living. I take pride in and am passionate about everything that I commit myself to. When I do escape, it's usually to the mountains and rivers. Constantly find myself singing childrens theme songs to my daily tasks before I even realize what I'm singing. I always try to make sure that my glass is half full and not half empty. My children have made me the man that I am proud to be. I am looking for someone who is flexible, down to earth, reliable, good-spirited and lots of fun! You can't put a price on a good smile. Must do well with children. Two of my four children face disabilities, so any interest or backround in nursing is always a plus. They usually spend most of the weekends at their mother's place. Must be financially secure and responsible, but not too responsible. A good sense of humor is also a must.
