Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Greenwood Village, 48 year old

Date a man from Greenwood Village, United States. Talk about an impossible task--trying to sum up all my life's experiences, loves, hopes and dreams in this tiny little box! But I don't shy away from a challenge so I'm going to give it my best shot. Get comfy, there's a lot of ground to cover. Ready?
Just like me, this is a work in progress. Let's start with the fact that people tell me that I have a happy smile and nice brown eyes, and that I've been told that I have great hands. As an oncologist it's important to me to be healthy. Seeing the devastation and damage from smoking first hand, I am opposed. While I'm not a vegetarian I've acquired a new love of great salads and have been trying to follow the Paleo diet. I enjoy exploring new restaurants. I stay active and exercise regularly - I enjoy CrossFit along with running, biking and tennis. The variety and potential to always improve in CrossFit keeps me motivated. Cherry Creek Reservoir has been a great place to enjoy a bike ride. I also intend to do some mountain biking. Want to join?
I consider myself a cheerful person frequently whistling as I walk down the hall (though sometimes I'm not even aware that I'm whistling). I'm a bit OCD as I tend to straighten crooked pictures when I walk by and pick up trash (even if it isn't mine). Doesn't make much sense - my office has been described as a little messy but if you were to see my closets or drawers you'd be impressed with how organized they are.
Figuring out how things work--mechanical systems, personality types, motivations and behaviors, almost anything -- tends to catch my attention. I'm kind of competitive by nature and enjoy another person challenging me. I find that I certainly don't need to win every time and in fact I learn from losing. Isn't that what makes it fun?
I really take pleasure in the subtleties of life...the juiciness of a medium-rare steak, the freshness of great sushi, the creamy sweetness of ice cream (my present favorite is Haagen Dazs Mint Chip). I continue to look for a favorite patisserie in Denver. Any recommendations?
Variety is key to keeping things interesting and that's true for entertainment as well. For movies I enjoy everything from action films to older movies and even some kid movies. You'll find me listening to music more often than not, and my tastes there range from rock to jazz to classical to country. A few favorites include James Taylor, Corinne Bailey Rae and Keith Urban. I have a 13 year old daughter who is always introducing me to new music. Some I like - AWOLNATION - and some not. I don't watch television that often but Modern Family and House of Lies are some favorites on my DVR right now.
When we boil it down to who I am as a person, the words responsible, loyal, independent, open-minded, clean, romantic, sensitive, ethical, humble, attractive, fun-seeking and adventurous are a good start. I enjoy my work and don't need anyone to take care of me. I seek someone who, at her core, embodies similar qualities.
What catches my eye first are beautiful eyes, killer smile and body habitus (being fit is essential, important and attractive) but what keeps me interested is how comfortable someone feels in her own skin and if she is genuine, kind, treats others with respect (think the wait staff at dinner) and models humility.
I have 2 daughters who live with me most of the time. Since moving back to Colorado they have been spending weekends with their mom. They are an important part of my life and I take being their father seriously. It is not a goal to father any new babies, but would welcome a partner's children into a blended setting. While I am here looking for 'the one' I am also interested in meeting new friends, maybe someone to share a workout, a great meal, a glass of wine and a riveting conversation with.
How about you? There's that elusive thing called chemistry that I don't feel can be gauged by reading a profile on a screen. I look forward to hearing from you!

Meet men and women from Greenwood Village, United States. I moved from Fort Collins, CO, several years ago to spend more time with my two kids. 70 miles may not be that far, but it seems like a continent away when you can't give them a good night kiss and tuck them in at night. Now, one is heading off to college and the other will continue to keep me busy between school, homework, and coaching. I am a sports junkie - huge Avalanche fan (I grew up in Minnesota, so hockey is in the blood), college football over the pro game, and I'll turn on the Rockies every night.
