Okay, too many false starts, people. I think it’s time I put it all out here… this is who I am, and this is who I’m looking for.

*** ABOUT ME ***

I’m a happy, fun-loving, intelligent guy who likes to laugh. I enjoy relaxing at home or being outside, spending time with friends and family. I’m laid back and easy to talk to. I enjoy random. I have the basics of chivalry down and am an affectionate person. I laugh at myself frequently and hope that you do too. I’m a smart ass at times and lots of fun, yet serious and attentive when it’s important to be.

I’m passionate about things that make us better human beings. I live by a clear set of values and core beliefs. My internal drum beats to the sound of: genuine – authentic – real. I’m positive, inquisitive, and accepting. Not judgmental. My disposition is forward-thinking and down-to-earth. These perspectives combined make up the vantage point from which I approach life. That said, I have shortcomings. Not the least of which is that I can be impulsive, restless, mouthy, slow to make some decisions, and hasty with others. Make no mistake, I am a flawed man, but I always seek to be the very best that I can be, and I encourage the same in the people I care about.

Most important to me is that I’m a lucky dad to my amazing son, and he is my favorite person in the whole world.

If any of this seems interesting to you so far, you should reach out and say hello.

If you HATE long profiles (and you know who you are), then stop reading here. The rest may not be very interesting to you…

**** ABOUT YOU ***

I’m looking for a woman who is FUN! She enjoys family, friends, and stimulating conversations. Someone easy-going, who is also genuine, authentic, and real, and who can see humor in random events. Somebody youthful at heart, energetic, and playful. Someone positive, who encourages better living in themselves and others. You will also be a little bit of a goof (or don’t mind being around one), and want a fun-loving guy by your side. Also, you must know that being able to “dish it out” AND “take it” is a must!

I believe that real friendship is the key to any successful relationship, and I hope creating that is important to you, too. Ultimately, I’m on a journey to find my very best friend and the woman that I can explore the rest of life with. Someone for whom I can develop over time “a liking that just won’t stop!” That sounds a bit corny, I know. But you’re gonna have to deal with that.

*** THE FINE PRINT ***

The bottom line is that I’m looking to enjoy the companionship of a fun, friendly, and attractive woman. I know what I want. I also know that I’m not for everyone and that everyone is not for me. I have nothing to prove and no chip on my shoulders. I’m not a hater and don’t waste my time with those that are. I keep things down to earth, positive, and fun, as much as possible.

I want to find my best friend. But that relationship has to be with the right person. I’m very happy and fulfilled in my life so far. I’m not at all lonely. I don’t want a relationship just to have one. And I don’t fall in love after two dates. I want to like you (A LOT!) and then see where things go. And if i DO like you a lot… and YOU like ME a LOT… then IT’S OOOOONN!

*** A FEW IMPORTANT DETAILS ***

You should also know that I grew up in church and that faith in Jesus Christ is very important to me. I am heavily invested in my church family, and that’s not ever going to change. That said, I’m not a holy roller. I definitely have a bad side and can appreciate the same in others…

I own a business and live south of the KC Metro area… about 15 miles south of Harrisonville. I live on 20 acres in an older country house that I am slowly renovating. I enjoy the rural lifestyle, although I am not a cowboy in any way. My eventual life partner will have some interest in this lifestyle. If you’re hard-working and not afraid to get your hands dirty, and like the idea of occasionally sitting on the front porch drinking a cold beverage with someone you love, while watching the orange glow of the setting sun over a green pasture, then you should contact me because many of our days will end like this…
