Well, you'd have to say I'm certainly outside the mainstream. I've been an adventurer all my life, moved to California from Telluride, Colorado. Grew up on the east coast. I'm very quick-witted and really enjoy making people laugh. I'm passionate about music (play guitar in a band, and love to go out to shows) literature, wilderness, good wine, fiction, cinema. Not necessarily in that order. In my home you'll find the following: A wood stove. A few guitars. OK, more than a few. A whole lot of books. An absurdly large music collection. A bunch of wine in the basement. A NYTimes or two. A way to hear music in every room.

I'm just under six feet, slender and in excellent shape from hiking whenever the sun is out, yoga and going to the gym when the rain comes. I live a healthy lifestyle. I'm looking for a monogamous relationship based on strong mutual attraction and true respect for each other. If more than four of the following adjectives apply to you, we'd probably be a very good match: Smart. Slender. Funny. Warm. Sexy. Compassionate. Brave.
