Date people from Orinda, United States. Hi, I'm a single dad and an attorney. I enjoy both roles very much, but the first is far more important than the second.
I'm a dad first. I have two fabulous children. My daughter loves horses. My son loves all sports. They both excel in school. To be right up front, they're the center of my life. I love what I do for a living, but I really love my kids. Regardless of how successful I am in my career, the greatest thing I'll ever do in my life is raise my children to be caring, compassionate, educated, successful individuals who contribute to their communities and always offer a helping hand to those less fortunate than they are. Needless to say, whomever I bring into my life must like children in general and my children in particular.
I'm an attorney second. I own my own small law firm in Walnut Creek. We'll soon have an office in San Francisco too. I put a lot of energy into growing the business, and derive a lot of satisfaction from seeing the fruits of my labors. The firm is small but growing, and at the end of the day it's mine. That feels pretty good.
While I'm serious about, and most proud of, being a great father and attorney, I also enjoy having fun. I love the outdoors, particularly, swimming, cycling, running, hiking with the dogs, and skiing. I really enjoy golf, but you wouldn't be able to tell by my game. It's really bad, but I'll keep trying.
I also enjoy cooking for friends and family, and entertaining them in my home. I'm much more of a "small intimate dinner party kind of guy" rather than a "loud bar scene type of guy". I enjoy fine wine and am an amatuer winemaker, creating several varietals each year. I name them after the kids and the dogs, in no particular order.
I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family and eventually would like to travel the world as part of my childrens' education and my personal enjoyment.
I'm looking for an intelligent, slightly sassy, funny, sensitive, down-to-earth, easy going, drama-free woman who shares these interests and is interested in a long term relationship. If you think we might be a match, ping me with an e-mail and we'll talk.
Meet someone special from Orinda, United States. Hello!
Men tell me I am a unique woman. Friends describe me as genuine, funny and down-to-earth. Flattery will get you everywhere :) No,I'm not perfect and I don't expect you to be either. What fun is that?
I am attracted to strong, confident men who appreciate my brain as much as my warmth, love for laughter, and my outgoing personality. If you are a gentleman who opens doors and was raised to treat a woman with chivalry, I will appreciate it. If you enjoy the dance of flirtation in the context of chemistry, I won't disappoint you.
My lifestyle is a healthy and active one. If I'm not in a class at the gym, you'll likely find me hiking, playing tennis, or walking the dogs. I have a thirst for learning, so next up is fly fishing. We live in a beautiful place and I love to enjoy all that it has to offer. I must say that having a glass of wine and laying in a hammock under a shady tree sounds equally appealing at times.
The profession I created for myself is stimulating and interesting — every day is different. Being semi self-employed allows me the luxury of flexibility in my schedule and a great work/life balance. I work to live instead of living to work.
I have a healthy sense of myself and what I desire in a partner. I'm curious and love to explore new places, foods, cultures, and ideas. I also have 12 year old twin girls, so you liking kids is a must. My circle of close friends is small and intimate, but I have a larger group of terrific friends in my life as well. I'd love to add a special man to the mix. Is that you?
My primary photo was taken in July 2012, so there will be no (bad) surprises when we meet.
