Hi! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. Looking for the one and I know you are out there! If you are interested in looking beyond the careers we have or the cars we drive, then I am too.

I am a bit goofy myself, so someone who is also a bit goofy, doesn't take themselves too seriously and is open to trying different things will probably be a great place to start! I am a vegetarian and family-oriented, too.

The book I enjoy the most is Autobiography of a Yogi. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, it is online for free and I really recommend it!

Would like to sing to you if you would enjoy that, but I first have to check my vocals - haven't done it in years so I will send you a sample to see if you think I still have what it takes :D (Maybe some Johnny Gill, Freddie Jackson, Ralph Tresvant, etc.)

In case I don't have that ability any longer, a good icebreaker might be some of these activities I have tried:

- horse riding

- riding on romantic old-timey streetcars from early 1900s

- swimming

- recorded and produced 2 albums worth of songs

- produced, remixed and released another album of remixes (to a local market)

- composed music

- served in meditation centers

- travelled to far away lands :)

- lived in California briefly

- enjoyed roller coasters

- train ride from buffalo to california (4 days trip each way!)

- performed live to some amazing crowds

- survived being stranded in a flood that was up to my neck in parts

- avoided glasses and contacts despite being a bit of a bookworm all these years

- ice skating (just once)

- career in finance

- worked my way through Uni

- climbed a mountain and was hit by a wild bison

- video editing and voice-overs for friends and organizations

- grew an 80k investment into 10 times the value

- helped care for 2 bunnies, 3 cats and 7 birds during childhood

- first jobs at Little Caesars and KFC

- undefeated mini playground wrestling champion ha ha

- minimum relationship span of 4 years so I do mean long term ?

(perhaps more of a hopeFUL romantic...)

Looking forward to meeting you...

Let's make something amazing happen together!
