I've done a lot in my life. I've been halfway around the world to scuba dive the Barrier Reef,been skiing in the Alps, and have done multiple cross country trips of the US. I've worked at arcades, restaraunts, climbed 500 ft smokestacks to test for pollution, and even sold mortgages. I've lived in 3 different states, and have traveled through all of the lower 48. I've loved with all my heart, and I've had my heart broken. I've climbed nearly 200 mountains from around the world. I've broken bones, torn muscles, and now have titanium bolts inside me and a ligament from a cadaver. I've experienced so much for my age yet I feel like I haven't really accomplished anything yet. I want to experience as much of life as possible. I want to try everything this world has to offer and I want to visit and explore all of the wonders of this beautiful planet. If you are interested in seeing what "to do" lists I'm currently working on click this sentence Too many people on this earth take life for granted. They are too caught up in either making money or material objects, and all they can do is stand by and watch as their youth fades away and then when they find themselves weak & old they finally realize how much of life they have missed. My father is 86 years old. He has traveled around the world twice and has seen and done more than anyone I know of. He has escaped death on multiple occasions and doesn't regret taking the risks that he did. I've never heard him complain about not having a full life and that is what I'm striving for. I want to have as many exciting stories to pass on to my children about exploring the world and experiencing life as he has passed on to me. I guess this is more of a life statement then a description about who I am, because I don't feel I have experienced enough in life yet to fully understand who I am.

I always give 110% in a relationship, and I am always faithful, honest and caring but my kindess has been taken advantage of in the past and I have been hurt by it. I'm looking for a woman who will appreciate all the things I do for her and one who will love me for who I am as much as I love her. She doesn't have to like all the things I like or do all the things I do, but I want to know that she cares for me as much as I care for her. I want to do and see everything I can in this world before I die, but part of what makes me happy is being able to share all the great moments in my life with someone who loves me. A relationship is about trust, devotion, love, caring, cooperation, and sharing the things in your life that make you happy with each other. My perfect woman will be one who truly believes in those things as I do.
