Meet a man from California, United States. NO regrets, just lessons learned, both in life and the kitchen! My love 4 the ocean is where my soul reconnects with reality. The kitchen is my other sanctuary where I am able 2 artistically create culinary works of edible art!
I currently live in Santa Barbara, CA but am planning 2 move 2 Capitola in August, job dependent ....let's see what the possibilities are!
Presently I work full time between (2) Emergency Depts., the Critical Care Unit and a Med Surg Unit; as a Patient Care Technician (PCT II/EMT-D). I am an independent EMT 4 Hire working on movie sets and other events. I worked for 4 years part-time 4 an ambulance company; I served for 8 yrs in the fire service starting out as paid-call moving into a seasonal position then a career position. Both distance and an injury on the job forced me 2 change careers; I was medically retired due 2 the injury. Now I am pursuing a degree in Emergency Management and nursing.
I've worked in the Hospitality field as a resident Innkeeper and breakfast chef 4 a 4 diamond Bed and Breakfast and gave 8 years 2 Amtrak, working at over 17 stations between San Diego and Vancouver, BC. I served as a Naval Reservist for 4 years which was an incredible learning experience.
I enjoy doing volunteer work which is a huge part of my life. The Surfrider Foundation, SB County Vintners' Assn., the SB Chapter of the American Red Cross, the SB County Medical Reserves Corp., and Aeromedicos, flying 2 Baja once a month 8 months out of the year 2 open a medical clinic.
My love of cooking was a staple at the firehouse table, we loved to cook! Our firefighters’ association did a lot of cooking based fund raising; breakfasts, dinners and BBQ’s. I now cook 4 a hobby and am putting together The 343; A Firehouse Cookbook.
I NEVER enjoyed the "Institutional Style Chef". Cooking 4 friends and family is what I am made 4. Cooking tragedies; Using salt instead of sugar in a large batch of homemade pancakes 4 the annual pancake breakfast at the firehouse 13 years ago. It was mislabeled! Taste everything!
I have had many life experiences some incredible and some very difficult. I take everything in stride; keeping my positive attitude and outlook at life in general. I have a handful of people that I consider true friends and numerous people I consider acquaintances. I get along well with most; either you love me or you can't stand me. My personality is somewhat quirky and overzealous at times.
With my schedule, I really haven't had a lot of time 2 give 2 relationships, BUT I am open 2 change. There is NOTHING I wouldn't do 4 a friend; day or night. I look 4 those who have a fire within, a passion 4 what life has 2 offer, people that can enjoy life WITHOUT games or manipulations! I look 4 QUALITY friends who hold things like family, integrity, loyalty, and commitment as their TOP priorities. HAVE TO LOVE adventure, spontaneous trips and have patience; I'm VERY outgoing and a bit crazy.
Favorite things 2 cook....Breakfast Meals, Grilling, BBQing, Italian dishes; ANYTHING! Keep it real! Never the cook the same thing twice. Keep 'em guessing. Make EVERY meal an original!
I want someone who will accept me 4 me. Has a love of life and passion 4 life and all that is offered.. Honest 2 urself as well as 2 me. Loyalty is huge! Be honest and trustworthy cause without trust and open communication you could end up with nothing. One other VERY important thing is 2 NEVER EVER LIE 2 that special someone. Make a mistake OWN the mistake - face what you must BUT DO NOT Lie 2 them, EVER! Trust is like credit, easy 2 get but once you damage it it can be impossible 2 regain.
Date someone special from California, United States. Originally from Connecticut, the US Air Force thought it best I move to Sacramento. I’ve always enjoyed traveling, but after a few tours to Saudi Arabia, I decided there had to be a better way to see the world. After the military, my career sent me to Santa Barbara. I like many found it impossible to leave. There is really nowhere I would rather live. I’ve worked in Goleta for the past twelve years.
I work 12 hours days and have been focused primarily on my career. I’ve finally reached a point where I’m ready to enjoy some long weekends. I’m a trustworthy guy. I’m loyal, friendly, and honest; I’m searching for someone with the same principles and values. This is a small town, and it seems like I know everyone, but I hold only a handful of people close. Since I basically started over when I move here in 2000, I’ve chosen my friends wisely.
I enjoy camping (okay motor home camping), dining out, movies, cooking, riding motorcycles, and playing golf. I’m an occasional social drinker. I don’t and have never used any drugs, and I’m not interested in anyone who is currently. I have never smoked cigarettes, but like an accessional cigar with the right company. I enjoy a night out as much as anyone, but if you want to party at the Kitty 5 nights a week, I'm not right for you.
I’m interested finding a great match and being involved in a positive relationship.
If I don't email you back, please don't be offended. Some of mine aren't returned either. :)
Meet single man from California, United States. I fluctuate between the introverted and extroverted. I'm happy to spend days by myself, but also need to connect with the people in my life and beyond. I'm hoping to meet someone who is interested in getting out and experiencing life.
Date a man from California, United States. Recently moved to the area from a stint in Ohio for work, great to be home in CA!
Looking for a confident, intelligent, capable woman with which to enjoy life. I want a friend to have fun with and show me the great things about this area as I am originally from northern California. Definitely looking eventually for a long term relationship as they are more fulfilling than casual dating.
Love to cook, drink fine CA wines (used to have them shipped to Ohio), laugh openly and often, take life a day at a time.
Not too serious, love the simple pleasures as well as the finer things. Sitting inside looking out at a raging thunderstorm or baking in the sun on a warm day are both a great time for me. Fine dining to raging burgers and beer...
Meet single man from United States. I've lived in California since I was three years old.
The two most common qualities people say I have are my sense of humor and caring nature. I like to make people laugh and I'll be the first to laugh at myself too.
I'm pretty much open to doing anything. I'm young at heart but also old-fashion at the same time (if that makes any sense). Over the years, I've liked taking day trips, going to concerts, hiking, wine-tasting, going to car shows, sporting events (football games, auto racing). I enjoy the person I am with more than the place we are at. I go to the gym a few times a week (never fun but to stay in shape).
I wear my heart on my sleeve, so you'll always know how I'm feeling. Fortunately, I'm usually the happy fun guy.
If we start out as friends and stay as friends only, that's perfectly fine. If it leads to something more, that would be ideal.
Date a soulmate from United States. Nice person. Likes to hold hands watch movies and eat food. I have twin daughters who live in denver with their mom. Their mom and i are friends which is important for the girls. They are 12 and great kids.
Miss them tremendously but ready to define myself and start a new life!
Meet a man from United States. I think the only way any relationship works is to do more than your share,empowering everyone around you to do more than theirs...a simple formula for success.additionally what defines who you are is when you decide to take a stand and speak up,or object to any given situation.it takes character to confront people and address sensitive issues,while not being petty or egocentric.it can be challenging in todays society to set boundaries w/out being petty about inconsequential issues.
Date someone special from Goleta, United States. My friends describe me as a nice person,I like to enjoy comic movies to joke with my friends, like my new job because I learn new thing and I think is easy for me to do different things that make me proud. I'm grateful of life because I'm so healthy I would like to find someone to enjoying that healthy lifestyle someone who is motived to enjoy life. I like to motivate my friends to do new things to show them how to see the easy way to do it so I' m the kind of helpful guy. I like to joke with my friends to make them laugh. I would like an honest person in my life someone to share her life with me and someone you can trust. I love how beautiful life is and what surrounds us.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I am a laid back type of guy who is not perfect but keeps trying to improve. I don't need to be number one all the time and belive in giving credit where credits due. I am more of a person who does what's best for the team. However, I will voice my opinion if I feel the "team" is heading in the wrong direction. I like to be successful and always strive to do my best in all endeavors. I believe in finding things that make me happy and fulfilled, rather than for money or because everyone else is doing it. I can cook well enough to not starve, but I am more than willing to clean up if someone else cooks. I am not a guy who needs to risk his life to have fun or prove he is a man. If I am going to have a mid-life crisis, I would rather go the new car route than the throw myself out of a plane route.
I make a good living and enjoy donating to a good causes. In addition, I am a sucker for buying things from kids in order to support their teams, schools, groups, etc. Even though I love going to live events, I am a ticket snob and will not go unless I get the "right" seats, even if that means paying more than face value. I believe in quality over quantity.
One note to make regarding Body Type, I work out six days a week and feel I probably fall between the "Average" and "Athletic/Toned" categories. I put Average because I did not want to mislead anyone. I hate being lied to and therefore will not lie to anyone else. Also, politically I put Middle of the Road,because I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.
I would like to find an intelligent woman with great eyes. Intelligence is sexy and the eyes are the gateweay to the soul! I enjoy a woman that has something unique about her that makes me intrigued and creates a desire to learn more. She should be comfortable in who she is and willing to express her opinions and desires. She should be looking for a partner to enjoy life with, not just to have someone around to keep from being lonely. I do prefer a woman who excercises on a regular basis because I feel it is important to a person's mental health as much as to their physical health.
