Date men from United States / California / Solana Beach, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a originally a small town boy raised in the Midwest but have been living in San Diego since '92. I still have small town values, a positive attitude, a great sense of humor and a charming personality... to compliment my stunning good looks. ;)
Currently, I work with the military as a subject matter expert/field service rep for unmanned aircraft and I'm also a licensed helicopter pilot. I graduated from Northern Il University where I was an Electrical Engineering major and a Physics minor and am now considering a Masters degree in counter-terrorism. I am extremely active, adventurous and bit of a thrill seeker. I take great care of myself, weight training regularly and practicing martial arts (Krav Maga) when time permits. I enjoy mt. biking, hiking and trail running, among many other activities. I am willing to try almost anything once and, even if it hurts the first time, I may still try it again. I am very social, love to travel, love to meet new and interesting people and close, personal friendships are extremely important to me. I am definitely a “renaissance man.” (Look it up girls, it doesn't mean I do renaissance faires) Like most other men with testosterone, I dig motorcycles, fast cars, football, UFC and pro bull riding but I also like art, the performing arts, I like to dance and LOVE margaritas. Until recently, I volunteered with Project Wildlife rehabbing injured and orphaned crows. It was incredibly rewarding but, unfortunately, priorities change. I never take myself too seriously and often can't help but make fun of myself... I'm such an easy target. I believe that life is about living. It’s about experiencing everything that can be experienced. It’s about enjoying the people you’re with and being thankful for the time you have. I am ambitious and driven but nothing is more important than health and happiness. Balance is everything.
You? I am looking for a woman who is happy with herself and comfortable with who she is. Just seeing her face makes me smile. She is easy going, educated, stable and has a certain amount of independence. She is adventurous, outgoing, fun and not afraid to get dirty once in a while. Hopefully she shares my passion for staying in shape and living a healthy lifestyle. Finally, although it's not the deciding factor, I would like to meet a woman who is at least interested in starting a family.
Lastly, I am 5' 8". I'm sorry to mislead but I don't show up on many searches if I don't claim to be 5' 10" and I am sure that you wouldn't want to overlook me... would you? Fortunately, I make up for those two inches with perseverance and enthusiasm. :)
