English

Who I am... I'm a devoted Christian, fun-loving and active guy; am kind and gentle and I have a strong, solid sense of myself. I'm sensitive when others are hurt and wear my heart on my sleeve. My best qualities are being empathic, transparent, genuine and authentic--I can admit when I'm wrong. I'm good at sharing my toys; am an honest, forthright, and healthy communicator. I generally don't hide or bury my feelings, rather I get them out in the open and deal with them. I'm MONOGOMOUS and FAITHFUL; loving, strong, affectionate and physical. I live a fairly clean lifestyle but as a chef, indulge in good food often. I've done a great deal of soul searching and personal inner-work on myself, and I have a voracious, sardonic sense of humor. I'm attracted to a man with scruffy facial hair, playful eyes, and a great smile. I'm into guys who aren't too pretentious or overly focused on their appearance, and who don't take themselves too seriously. Ones' values, character, and morals--I find sexy and desirable. I'm interested in getting to know someone who is genuine, real and likes to engage in great conversation and laughter. I'm generally drawn to guys who are a bit younger than me. If you're in the Portland Metro area, and I sound like an intriguing man to get to know, please reach out. ” What I’m doing with my life... I've owned a successful, catering & event company for the past 12 years and love my work. I have a tremendous team of about 25 right now and we're doing terrific. I had the opportunity recently to appear on the Food Network as a contestant on Cutthroat Kitchen. Was a great experience. I love photography and exploring Portland with my camera. I make jewelry and started a line this year as a way to de-stress in the evenings. At this point in my journey, I'm taking time to enjoy life and desire to share it with someone fun, devoted, and passionate. I’m really good at... Caring for and putting people at ease and making them smile and laugh; affirming others and pointing out their good points; listening and empathizing; being generous with my time and skills; solving problems and putting fires out. I've learned to hold things and people loosely and to not be possessive or jealous. Growing up is always hard to do... The first things people usually notice about me are my eyes; my smile. My Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food... The History Channel; I love anything about WWII; Will and Grace re-runs; The Velvet Rage; Shawshank Redemption; The Color Purple; Driving Miss Daisy; The Walking Dead; House of Cards (LOVE). As a chef, I am crazy about all types of food and love exploring new hole-in-the-wall places to eat in Portland. On a typical Friday night I am Cooking with a few buds; enjoying beauty with friends or venturing out solo; Eating at an amazing restaurant; or watching a movie at home. You should message me if... You are looking to be real and honest and not into playing games. If you enjoy communicating; you still are young at heart, not given to cynicism, able to be emotionally open and vulnerable, like having fun and laughing a lot. Adventurous and looking to find a rare type of man. That is me...I have so much love and care to give someone. If you are a relatively secure, Christian man who wants to settle down--be happy and content--with a devoted man, like me, then message me. I'm not looking for Adonis, rather, a man who knows who he is and can still be vulnerable and open.
