Date men from United States / California / Apple Valley, 64 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I don’t quite know where to begin. I haven’t been doing this online dating thing long. In fact it has only been a couple of weeks. I am not really sure of this online dating. The trouble is, it is hard to do this in this type of format and setting. It is hard not to make this sound like the 50,000 other introductions that you have probably read. It is much easier to talk about yourself than write about yourself. I am not sure why but this feels a little awkward, but I almost feel like a 16 year old kid.
I like to do most any of the outdoor activities like hiking, camping and such. I have spent most of my career in the law enforcement field and I still do it on a part-time basis. I also teach Criminal Justice in an Associate and Bachelor college program.
I am interested in you and what you have done in your life. Your experiences and background make you the person you are today. There is no single trait that I can point to as I am open to the woman who is warm, compassionate, funny, fun loving and not afraid to help in the man cave and let me help her in the kitchen.
What do you like to do? What are your passions?
Hope to hear from you soon
You take care
Tommy
