About Me


Hi, I'm Ric. I currently live in a suburb of Orlando. I'm an "all around" kinda guy.. I'm not typical, traditional or cookie-cutter. I am unique and individual.

I like outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, swimming, tennis, rollerblading and visiting the theme parks in Orlando. I also enjoy computer games, watching movies, eating out and travelling.

I was born in Massachusetts, grew up in Portland, Maine. However, I come from an Italian/Latvian and Spanish background. My last name is the capital city in the country of one of my backgrounds. I have darker features and medium complexion.

Some of my favorite things include the color yellow, iced tea and my two dogs. I enjoy Star Trek, Law and Order, Golden Girls, LOST, Eureka, mystery novels, Italian food and Outback cheese fries. I'm a top 40 guy who likes to dress prep/casual.

If you'd like to know more, drop me a line and we'll talk from there. Cheers!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Friends! Anything with me beings with a foundation of friendship. If we can get along as friends, then we can go places together.

My ring finger is already occupied. I'm in a long-term, committed partnership. We're a dynamic force to be reckoned with, for sure! Somethings in life you just know.. and we know.

A mantra:

A Friend's Love says:
" If you ever need anything, I'll be there."

True Love says:
" You'll never need anything; I'll be there."

I love my partner, JCK, very much!
