I'm extremely open-minded, fun-loving, currently single, and have a lot to offer. I'm a really fun guy with a huge range of interests - a true Renaissance man - and have tonnes of love to give! I am a father of 2 young children who are an important part of my life. I take care of myself mentally and physically and expect the same from any woman I'm with. I'm fit (5'10", 176 lbs) and good-looking. I'm looking forward to communicating with and eventually meeting my match! "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work". Thomas Edison Some of the things that I enjoy: hiking, camping, skiing, swimming, good movies, reading, learning, teaching, writing, art, to name a few. I sculpt, draw, make jewellery, do calligraphy, and have sold hundreds of pieces of my work - was a full time artist for a few years, but now work build houses. I teach martial arts (European Swordsmanship) for fun, as a volunteer. And I write semi-professionally, being published in several small magazines as well as online publications. I am ambitious and work doing a few different things (rather than one daily job), which has put several women off in the past, despite how many write that it is something they find attractive - sounds wish-washy to me to ask for something, then when you get it decide you don't like it. Making my kids a priority sometimes makes dating difficult. I have to be up front about that! I have most Saturday nights free, so that is a plus (kids are at their mom's).
