Nature, meaningful conversations, laughter, and lifelong learning make me happy. I believe the best things in life are often the simplest. Independent (in the best sense :), optimistic, kind, and blessed with a witty sense of humor. I enjoy travel, books, strength training, yoga, theatre, live music, movies, and discovering something new every day. Looking for a friendship that grows into a lasting partnership. Hoping to meet an honest, educated gentleman with warmth, curiosity, integrity, and a love for substance over pretense.
