I am an optimistic guy believing that all things happen for a reason and that timing is an important element in the events that lead us to where we are. I value life and appreciate the beauty around us. I think taking the time to be kind and helpful to those around you is very rewarding. My family are very important to me because I love family time.. So i would hope that the woman who becomes part of my life would be as interested in my family as I would be in hers.. friendship takes time and commitment to develop into a close loving relationship. I believe communication has to be worked on by both partners. I'm willing to take risks to see where life takes me. I am honest about my feelings, emotionally available, family oriented, athletic, fun, smart, successful, compassionate, caring and one who can laugh both at myself and at life. Good morals and ethics are very important to me. Honesty and trust are vital.
