Date men and women from United States / California / North Sacramento, 36 year old

Date a man from California, United States. First thing you need to know about me is I love to laugh and love to be around people who are happy and have a zest for life. I am a hardworking professional man who loves sports, loves people, loves God, and loves great conversation, from serious to silly. I appreciate the simple pleasures, but love trying new adventurous things. I'm a true believer that it's not as important what you do, but who you do it with. I can have just a much fun exploring Mt. Tamalpais as I would having a lazy day on the couch watching law and order re-runs, as long as I'm with the right person.
I grew up playing soccer and basketball, but I love just about any sport. Bonus points for the A's and Raider fans out there, we'll get along just fine. I am a comedy and love to laugh! It's my therapy and essential to my daily survival. If you have a good sense of humor and can deal with my loud laugh, we'll get along great. I also love live music and live performances. I love smaller and more intimate venues, but ain't nothing wrong with a good arena show every now and then. From a jazz concert, to a Roots shows, to Alvin Ailey, to a symphony, all are interesting, fun, and would draw my attention. I love trying new things musically, but you won't find me at GWAR concert anytime soon.
I'm a pretty straight forward and down to earth and hope to have the opportunity to meet a great person. Family is important to me and being accountable to the next generation of children is important to me. I've spent a large portion of my adult life teaching and coaching kids and have seen the impact we can have when we make ourselves available to them. Having a heart for children is important for anyone I'm with, because its a part of me that won't change...Not to sound corny, but someone who is genuinely nice and cares about how they treat others is what I'm looking for. You don't have to be perfect, because Lord knows I'm not.
Things I'm looking for:
A fun, intelligent woman with compassion, a sense of humor, and a heart for people. Material things come and go, but it's the imprint you make on people's hearts that lasts.
