Hi, I’m a tall, masculine, affectionate, a generally smart and occasionally witty guy. I work out, enjoy being fit, strong and active; I have travelled this planet widely and find its inhabitants generally fascinating.

While I’m into those typical male pursuits of trains & boats & planes, (well, more sail boats, motorbikes and technology), I’m also into creativity, with - photography, music (love it & play the drums), painting (canvas not walls), design & architecture.

My business combines my interest in design and people and is quite personally satisfying. In life and in business I build relationships based on mutual respect and trust assisted by liberal amounts of humour which I find is a great filter for most issues. I'm a glass half full optimist who believes there are great opportunities around us at all times.

My humour is a bit left field and I tend to see the absurd and ironic in my observations. While I’m not religious I do believe there is a spiritual dimension to our lives and I try to live according to fairly universal moral principles.

I enjoy socialising and provoking friends into laughter with dry comments and unexpected observations. My female friends tell me I have a well developed emotional intelligence and I am not afraid of emotions. I'm into positivity and prefer to compliment more than to criticise. I'm also more into achieving something meaningful, than just material success, but life is to be enjoyed and I like my toys which all need to be paid for, so it’s a balance, as it all is, isn’t it?

I am now looking to continue life's adventure with a charming new companion, to enjoy amazing places & experiences together and the pleasure of a creative partnership.

PS my age is not discounted and the photos are current.

Hmmm an ideal partner - I'm not sure one exists and I think prefer the serendipity of the unexpected. Some key traits would be - intelligence, humour, a good communicator, sensual and tactile. That would be a good start, however everything is negotiable.
