About Me

I view myself as a pretty normal, down to earth person. I think that's how people describe me too. I'm mature, very healthy, have very good habits, good hygene, I have a ton of respect for women and others, and pursue peace and mental and physical wellbeing for myself and those around me. I love dogs. I do not like conflict. I love to listen, more than I like to talk. I have adult children who have recently graduated from university and live independent lives. I am pretty well educated. I have a doctorate degree, 2 masters degrees and 2 bachelors degrees from a well respected univerity here in the US. I recently retired at age 50 from my career and now pursue other interests.

I have traveled in about 70 countries and lived or worked in a few. I'm pretty adventurous, but I always love to come home. I'm fortunate to live in an amazingly beautiful place with mountains and 2 lakes within 5 to 10 minutes from my home. I have lived on a sailboat for a year in the Caribbean. I have bikepacked Iceland. I have sailed the Sea of Cortez. I have ridden bikes and motorcycles through thousands of miles of desert in Baja Mexico. I have ridden motorcycles all the way around Ecuador, from the coast to the Andes to the Amazon. I spent 1 year in Afghanistan on an Army combat tour. I was fortunate to have a very successful law career as well as a very successful career as an Army Officer, where i worked very hard with a lot of great people. I run and/or cycle every day and love other outdoor activities. I like living a healthy and active life. I do not drink, smoke, party or go to clubs, or things like that. I value family and relationships and my favorite thing to do is spend time with people I love. My biological age is closer to 45, because I have always taken really good care of my body and mind. I know how to be kind and supportive and loving and a source of stability and safety to the woman I love, and view a lover as a partner and an equal. I clean my own house and can cook delicious food. I like doing things together with my lover, but I also appreciate "me time" for each of us. Everyone needs a little "me time" to think and be themselves without feeling smothered. I am actually quiet and reserved a fair amount of the time, and prefer to listen to and learn about others rather than talk about myself and seek attention. I have a quiet confidence based on my life experience. I am calm most of the time (I mean we all have our moments). I have never spoken down to or touched a woman except in a safe, loving embrace. I like to work as a team and help others work towards achieving their goals and potential. I feel like i have been fortunate and have an amazing life that I am grateful for, and I would like to share that with a beautiful, smart woman with similar values and desires, in a long-term monogamous relationship and marriage with the right person. I was brought up as a Christian, but i am open to and respect all religions or non religious beliefs that help someone feel grounded and live a positive life. I am a very real, normal, down to earth person. No gross scams or gross habits here. What you see is what you get. I am absolutely willing to travel and live for up to a few months at a time in almost any beautiful place in the world, but my permanent home is in this amazingly beautiful place in Utah. I would like to find a lover and partner who is interested in a long-term relationship and marriage if it's a great match, who would be willing to live here in Utah most of the year and travel to your country to connect with family and friends a few times each year. I loved being a present parent, and am grateful that my wife and I were fortunate to raise, good, honest, educated kids together. I would absolutely, happily help raise kids again 100%, with the right woman, although I am not specifically looking for that opportunity right now, but for the right woman, I would happily do that.

This is the real thing for the right person, but it has to be right for me and for you too.

Unfortunately, since there are so many scammers, I will never send money, never send or ask for inappropriate photos or videos or ask anything gross or inappropriate. I'm a mature, confident, experienced man, who respects women and others. And I would like to video chat early on to insure each other that we are who we say we are, and our profile pictures are true, for your protection and mine. I'm being 100% honest here and have nothing to hide, and I'm looking for the same from others here. Thanks for looking. Would love to meet you if we're a good fit.

About My Match

A unique, normal, nice person with a desire to work towards accomplishing her goals and have fun and do some good adventuring along the way. S person who likes to be active, also likes to just hang out, relax and enjoy the peace of the moment too. Someone who likes to take care of their body, mind and spirit and treat others with kindness. I'm looking for someone to be a lover and a partner, although each of us brings certain strengths and weaknesses to a relationship. I don't want to change anyone, but rather help, support and encourage them to become their very best self, because I helieve that is the way to have a happy, fulfilled partner in life. And I hope that a partner will do the same for me. I'm interested in someone who is old enough and has enough life experience to understand who she is and what she wants out of life and her lover. Someone who can work through difficulties like a mature adult by talking and listening and understanding and finding compromise. Someone who wants to direct their energy to work to improve themselves and others around them, and have a healthy, fun and also peaceful and safe life with someone they can trust.
