Hi, I'm an easy going, down-to-earth kind of guy who loves to laugh and doesn't take himself too seriously. I work hard and am financially stable, but I look forward to my days off and having fun. I am athletic, I like to jog or swim almost every day. I'm outgoing and gregarious by nature, enjoying good company. Intelligence in a woman and intelligent conversation are huge turn-ons, as I like to learn and grow from the people I associate with. Even though I'm happy and content with my life as it is, I believe that a good relationship will only enrich and enhance it. Relationships are important and I make them a priority. l love animals of all kinds and currently have two dogs.

"My candle it burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light"

I like to stay active, as I believe we only have one life to live and we should make the most of it. I'm not normally much of a homebody. I 'm usually out and about, but if I'm with that special lady, then I'm more than happy to spend time at home together, enjoying each other's company. I'm demonstrative of my affection and I love to cuddle.

The longer I live, the more strongly I believe that the only meaningful legacy we leave behind us is how we treated friends, family and loved ones during our lives. I would like to meet a lady who is concious of same.

"As a well spent day brings happy sleep,
So life well used brings happy death"
