First and foremost, I'm a Dad. I've got a 7 year old son and he means everything to me. The way I am is because of him. I'm caring where I didn't used to be. I like to listen, where before I liked to talk. I enjoy quality time where before my son was born I'd rather have been out doing something other than spending time at home. I love to laugh. I like walking and walking and enjoy my workout time. I've got great friends who are a huge part of my life and I treasure loyalty, honesty and integrity above everything else. My spirituality is another very important part of me. Diversity is a magnet for me. I grew up in Germany and Hawaii and then spent 11 years in Alaska. I enjoy different cultures and their foods. Cooking and Mountain Biking, Kayaking, Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are currently hobbies of mine. I also earn income as a photographer, much less now than when I was in Alaska, but I'm making a bit of a comeback lately. I've come out of a divorce better off than I was before and am really happy with the way things are going.
