Date someone special from California, United States. I am often happiest in some athletic adventure, especially running, cycling or skiing ... although romantic getaways rank pretty high as well! I love to travel to far away places for fun, and I typically go on at least one cycling trip to Europe per year. I grew up spending a lot of time playing tennis tournaments in Southern California.
I did my undergrad and MBA at Stanford, with a few years in New York in between. After business school, I worked for two smaller companies, then became CEO of the second one for a couple of years before being acquired by a larger high tech company. I recently joined a mid-sized technology company responsible for all products and development.
I'm looking for someone who shares my interests in athletics, adventure and travel, but who also longs for romance and intimacy. I'd love to find someone who loves candlelit dinners overlooking an ocean sunset as much as an early morning hike on a beautiful day to the top of a trail. I want to find someone who wants their partner to be their best friend, to be someone they can't wait to see each day.
I would love to explore new places together and build new experiences and new memories. I want to find someone with a great passion for life, who loves to laugh. And I love thoughtful conversations about all sorts of topics.
If this sounds intriguing, I'd love to hear from you!

i will show up with out food in my mouth. but i do not have many photos....and refuse to stand in front of the mirror with a cell phone.
I am an Entrepreneur and love to build things from the ground up. Sometime they stand strong and others tend to flop over and leave you scratching your head. Better to have tried and failed then to never have tried at all. My current project could very well surpass Jelly Bellies. :)
Ideally I would like to find a professional, educated woman who is able share her dignity, class and elegance at public events. I would certainly support her in the same manner. This "super woman" would also have a very passionate, erotic, uninhibited and adventurous side that we would share privately…..maybe publically from time to time.
Don't mis-understand.........Just want to find that one special person :) Is that you?
Feel free to ask me anything....I will hold nothing back.

Date people from Los Altos, United States. the hoard of rumbling cars rolled up to the starting line of the biggest race at NASCAR, the Ford Fusion enwrapped with "Rick Santorum President" was at the back of the pack. But as rivals crashed and burned, the steady-paced underdog sped ahead.
Heading into the home stretch of the Daytona 500 on Monday, the car that began second to last had zoomed to the head of the pack. And when one opponent imploded, literally sparking a fireball on the track with a mere 40 laps left, the Santorum-sponsored driver, Toney Raines, was sitting in an impressive third place.
"Hang back, let the other cars in front get in wrecks … or drop out of the race, and then move up at the end," was the pre-race advice presidential candidate and NASCAR car sponsor Rick Santorum gave to Raines, who ultimately finished in 19 th place.
It's the " Santorum strategy," he said. And it seemed to work about as well on the race track as in the GOP primary.
When Santorum announced his presidential bid, he entered a Republican field overflowing with White House hopefuls. To say he began at the back of the pack is an understatement.
Meet someone special from California, United States. Me: Hard-charging, confrontational, A-hole -- just kidding! That was only the "hook" -- please read on:
Foremost I am a loving and caring father to my teenage son and my tweener daughter. In addition to my ongoing learning as a father (my own father was a great role model), I can best be described as fun-loving, energetic, socially intelligent (and occasionally regularly intelligent), humorous and sometimes comedic, confident, capable, optimistic, positive, outgoing, friendly, caring, compassionate, kind, grateful, playful, romantic, and well-adjusted.
Professionally, I am a successful corporate and securities attorney in Silicon Valley, a lecturer in law at a local law school, and author of many law publications. I am financially secure (due to hard work and good luck -- without gambling!), generous, well-educated (and sometimes I even do smart things), loyal, and hard-working. I grew up in a stable two-parent household with two wonderful sisters.
I am also a competitive distance runner, a recreational road and mountain biker, really enjoy the outdoors, and am grateful each day for being in our beautiful Bay Area. I love our state and national parks, and like to visit them with my children during the summer. I was out in Zion this summer (2012) with my son (age 16) and two of his friends where we did the 16-mile day hike down the Virgin River narrows, and my son and I have done the 22-mile hike from Big Basin headquarters to the coast and back.
I enjoy good company and social settings, meeting people, and nourishing my relationships. I was amicably divorced after 14 years of marriage, and collaborate well with my ex in continuing to be friends and in raising our two children who live with me.
I have a full and largely fulfilling life with my being a father, my work, teaching, writing, and running, and all of the other little things that constitute the business of life, and look forward to meeting a positive, fit, warm, attractive woman who smiles a lot, and can join me in a relationship where we value each other.
Other random information: I grew up in Dayton, Ohio in a wonderful family. My parents were from the East Coast, and valued education and culture, and I continue to enjoy learning in all its forms (including through books and meeting people), and my teaching is my foundation for ongoing learning, and many of my students have become friends or business acquaintances or both.
I enjoy trying new experiences and meeting new people, but I also enjoy quiet time at home playing cards or a board game with the kids, hanging out by the fire or at a nice wine bar and talking.
My goals are fairly simple: To be a superlative father to my children, enjoy my work, family, and personal time, continue to find positive experiences and people, sustain continued personal growth, and find the right partner to share those experiences with me as I would share in her goals.
Date men and women from United States. I am a lucky man with so much to be grateful for. I've been blessed with a good heart, a gentle soul, success, confidence and many friends. I'm naturally optimistic, and despite two failed marriages I believe in the power of connection. In my view, successful relationships, especially long-term ones, begin as friendships and that's I'm looking for initially--someone with whom I have an easy rapport and whose company I enjoy regardless of what we're doing.
I am drawn to keen intelligence, a lively sense of humor, stylishness, and a nurturing, giving disposition. I am respectful and respected and I want these qualities in a partner. It's important that I admire the person I'm with, not only based on who she is and what she does but also how she treats other people. A minimum of drama is desirable. I value fitness and the psychological and physical benefits it conveys
Here is who I am, more specifically:
I am moved by mountains and streams and canyons and deserts where the only sounds are the ones the animals make.
Some of my favorite moments are quiet and contemplative; a glass of wine on the patio as the day winds down, or a great book in a shady spot and a comfortable chair. Simple pleasures must be harvested and appreciated to truly have a rich life.
I am a sucker for striving kids. I will stop and buy lemonade from their roadside stand every time.
Elbow room is important. For me and you.
I believe strongly in all that a teammate exemplifies: support, encouragement, sharing a load, and grace when things go badly.
Baseball is in my bloodstream and if you truly hate the game we would never work. I am hopelessly devoted to the St. Louis Cardinals, an inheritance from my dad that has given me more joy than heartache, I'm happy to say.
I cannot keep my hands off beautifully designed objects, or anything made of stone.
I really, really love chocolate

I value relationships and I invest my time in learning about communication and how to get along with people. I love listening and being empathetic and validating I like spending time to talk, and being either inside or outside. I value family and I like to keep connected with relatives. I'm a typical Brazilian, who likes being around people making jokes and laughing.
I love helping people. I'm an intern counselor and my specialty (if I can say it since I'm still not licensed) is helping couples and parents. I conduct workshops to couples and parents and it gives me satisfaction to realize that I'm making a difference in other people's lives.
I'm also a professional pianist and I have a lot of fun playing the piano. I play many different styles from classical to jazz, and Latin rhythms. If I had time I would play most of the day. Maybe when I retire, but that's going to be for a while. I'd love to play and sing to my partner romantic songs. I hope you enjoy listening to piano, and if you sing along it's even better. You don't need to be in tune, I'm not going to judge you.
I consider myself a spiritual person and I play at church and conduct most of my workshops at church.
I like going to the beach, camping and traveling. Would you go with me? I try to keep fit, so I exercise at least four times per week. I either run or go the the gym. I love swimming so this is what I most to at the gym.
I'm a sensitive and caring person. I try to see the best in people and I like making them feel important. I'm looking for someone who is non-judgmental, compassionate, patient and forgiving.
Date people from United States. Open minded, down to earth, grounded with a good sense of humor would be some of the characteristics that describes me. I appreciate the simple things in life and enjoy spending time with my two sons (my top priority), family and friends, dancing and good food. I like to keep myself physically fit and spend time outdoors, such as hiking, fishing, and water sports on my boat. My adventurous side is traveling to exotic places, scuba diving, sailing, etc. I am fortunate to have a job that is interesting, challenging, and while it is demanding, I am able to find the right balance between life and work. I am considered to be romantic, warm and honest, but I will let you be the judge of that.
I have been separated for quite some time and at the final stages of my divorce. I am ready for a new chapter in my life, and looking forward to creating new friendships/ relationships.
If you are a positive person who is caring, romantic, loyal and like to enjoy what life has to offer, then you may be the one for me.
