I grew up in the green pastures and wooded farmlands of Ohio, yet I seem to have recovered from that fairly well. Oh, I still have ann interest in the Reds and Bengals, but therapy has helped alot too;). I will always root for The Ohio State Buckeyes, that's chronic and there is no cure.

I'm looking for a sweet hearted, loyal and smart woman with a good sense of humor who knows what she wants out of life and realizes it's not necessarily something that money can buy, it's who you share life's journey with and the fun you can share. Not that I don't have money or I'm not generous with it with a loved one, but in life, it's love that makes you happy not what wonderful toys you own. I know, I'm probably delusional.I just know that my toys aren't fun when played with alone, you know?
I don't have children yet, but I like most of the ones I've met and would like to have my own with the right woman if the Fates allow. Ideally, I'd like to find a long term relationship, but I need more friends to do things with also. I'm looking for a woman with enough similar interests that she can be my best friend as well as potentially my lover and partner,but interests of her own I can learn about and share with also. Ideally, a lover should be one's best friend as well. I want to be my partner's rock when she needs one, and her source of smiles all the time.I'm a romantic but it seems women anymore, at leastthe ones I've met, don't enjoy that sort of thing.

I'm a graphic artist who is also a college instructor of computer graphics and video. I've worked as an animator and artist on sci-fi and fantasy television shows, films and magazines. I'm back in school for my Masters degree in Screenwriting because I'd rather teach what I know to the next generation and possibly write a future Hollywood blockbuster in my summers off.

I'm a very caring, loyal and responsible guy. Weird, I know. Try to hang with me here, it gets even freakier. I try to live my life with a strong sense of personal integrity and honesty and I never let my friends down if I can help it. Are you doing ok? Just a little bit more weirdness and we're throuogh here, I promise. I'm loyal to a fault and know how to treat a woman with respect and affection and I am a good listener. When life throws roadblocks in ones way, I actually may stumble onto helpful advice now and again. It's an unpredictable as the monsoon, but it can happen. I have a big heart, but it's a bit guarded due to life's painful lessons learned.

Ok, here's a huge surprise for you. I don't enjoy drama nor people who play games. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but lie to me and you will be cast out. I don't play games of the heart, neither should you. I am told I can be quite amusing sometimes, not that this is the right place to attempt that. You'll have to talk to me and decide for yourself. I love to travel and live adventures when I have the time. I hope to relocate to Hawaii sometime in the next couple of years if possible, and hope to visit there later this year. Perhaps you can come too? Not as much fun to go alone...   Send me a message!
