I am an easy going, outdoors type of guy. I enjoy hunting, fishing and camping, although I haven't done much of either lately. I have 5 sons, two adult and 3 younger who live with me, and three granddaughters. Raising my 12, 14 and 16 year old sons by myself keeps me busy. We live on 25 acres in a very rural area surrounded by state and federal land. The nearest small town is about 10 miles away. I'm retired so most usually I dress very casually. I have a good sense of humor, and when the occasion suits, can be quite witty. I'm a perfect gentleman, the original Mr. Nice Guy. Honest, open, caring, confident, polite, intelligent, compassionate, loving, incurable romantic, gentle, sensitive, kind, faithful, a one woman man, treat women with dignity and respect, a great listener but can be very talkative with the right woman! I am not perfect nor would I claim to be, we all have our faults, but I do strive to be the best person I can be. I am a retired engineer and ex part time firefighter-paramedic, scuba diver, amateur radio operator and former officer in the Army National Guard among other things.

My Ideal Person I've been widowed for 5+ years and tired of being lonely. I'm not looking for a woman to live with, I'm looking for the one woman I can't live without. I am seeking an intelligent, honest, caring and open woman for dating at first with the potential for a serious, committed relationship. If that describes you, then lets get in touch!
