About Me

I'm a divorced dad who is looking to meet people. I have a lot of interests, including biking and other outdoor activities, writing, blogging and music.
I'm not here to find anyone to hook up with for a couple of reasons. One, I have two small children. Most of the women I meet who have kids the same ages as mine are much younger and looking for a younger guy. Women who are closer to my age are usually looking to step out and travel; I can't do that very easily with small kids. My kids come first in my life. Two, I dig having my own space. I like sharing time and space, but I have my thing that I'm doing. In other words, I'm not looking to complete anyone else. Complete yourself.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nobody dead. It seems that a lot of people answer this question by listing the dearly departed, but that isn't for me. Also, no celebrities. At least not for the fact that they are famous. I've been around some celebs and some of them are nice, and some are jerks. I'd like to meet people who are doing things in this life, who are reaching out to connect with other people, and if they are famous, that is okay.
I like meeting people who know who they are and where they are going, are engaged and engaging. I like people with integrity, people who can go the distance. I like people who don't twist with the winds.
