I am an athletic, physical and hands on guy, who makes his living building things and guiding in the mountains. I enjoy the physical and mental aspects of both, as it is a sort of merging of action and awareness. I jokingly refer to myself as a sophisticated redneck....well read and educated; well travelled and articulate; and capable of conversation. In other words I know which fork to use first but if the situation demands it don't mind getting my hands dirty. About being on AFF....I am more vanilla than kinky, and think an intellectual connection makes physical chemistry all the more fantastic. I like anticipation and the building of it. I am "soft" dominant and more of a long distance sort rather than a sprinter. I like giving in things physical but also in all aspects of human interaction. I am a seeker of fun, pleasure, adventure and exploration
