Date single man from California, United States. I’m a person who enjoys being outdoors (walking along a beach, hiking through a forest); who likes to be active (hiking, cycling, or kayaking); who enjoys conversing about our world and everything that goes on in it; who enjoys traveling (from southern Africa, to large international cities, to our western mountains and oceans).
I enjoy opening the eyes of our youth to nature--by making in-school presentations and leading them on walks.
Art is important to me--again, making art presentations in schools has been extremely rewarding (but,currently, on hold). I also enjoy painting portraits with pastels and drawing animals. It’s a hobby--something that I do when I get in the mood. And, I enjoy visiting art museums.
I also enjoy sharing in the preparation of a meal, usually over a nice bottle of wine, often with friends.
One of my most important interests is family. For me, this means Sacramento--where I have sisters, a married daughter, and most importantly an eight-year-old granddaughter.
I have a curious mind--which translates into many and varied interests. Sometimes I think that my life would be a lot simpler if I had a single hobby, one that I would focus on and become something of an expert. But, that wouldn’t be me.
When I lead nature walks, people frequently comment upon my enthusiasm. While I try to educate people, I also think that developing rapport and making them laugh are as important as throwing a lot of factual material at them.
What kind of a woman am I looking for? While It’s nice to share many interests and activities, I believe that sharing similar values is the most important factor. And, what are these? I’d include a degree of curiosity and intelligence, a caring about people, an ability to listen to and respect others, and a kind heart.
