To Give Love Is My Goal

About Me



I have been told that I am one of the nice guys on here. I am a very genuine and real person. I love my work in helping people, and I take great satisfaction in using what I have learned through my life to help others. I am a church-goer, but not so much a religious institution supporter. I am a person who is very much into music and have performed and been associated with all types of music endeavors for the last 30 years.

I have mostly been a singer in my career, but also play guitar, keys, and bass. I am the lead vocalist for HOT DADDY ROCKS! a party rock cover band.

Join our MySpace if you want to keep up with where we are playing etc.

I also sang with the Progressive Rock band Revelation Project... click here for the MySpace page ...but the band no longer exists.

My Interests

My kids.
Finding that very special woman.
I am a passionate music person who enjoys playing guitar and singing. Also play "some" keys. I am also a very big NHL hockey fan.

I'd like to meet:

Real people. I do not like liars or fake people. I would like to meet people who are firm in what they believe regardless of whether it always takes them where they would like to go.

I would love to meet a woman who is secure but who also allows herself to be vulnerable in a relationship. Someone who is romantic and desires to work at a relationship. Someone who wants to share each other's lives and interests.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not one to pass on things like chain letters, but the following was taken from one because it conveys what I feel I truly would like to give to a nice lady out there:

To every guy that cried in front of her. .... To every guy that she cried in front of... To every guy that holds hands with her. To every guy that kisses her with meaning. To every guy that hugs her when she's sad. To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all. To every guy who would give their jacket up for her. To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe. To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to see her for ten minutes..... To every guy that would give his seat up... To every guy that just wants to cuddle. To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful no matter what. To every guy who told his secrets to her. To every guy that tried to show how much he cared through every word and every breath. To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one. To every guy that believed in her dreams. To every guy that would have done anything so she could achieve them. To every guy that never laughed at her when she told him her dreams. To every guy that walked her to her car and opened the door. To every guy that gave his heart. To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her. Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore... And because of this, there are not many left out there...
BUT, THERE STILL ARE A FEW!!! :)

Music:

Big Time Progressive Rock Fan, but also into much, much more. Neal Morse, Genesis, Alan Parsons, Shadow Gallery, Magic Pie, Kino, Peter Gabriel...the list will be growing and continuing. Love to go to live shows.

Movies:

"Monty Python and The Holy Grail", "Pay it Forward", "Time After Time"

Television:

NHL Ceter Ice, "Whose Line is it Anyway?", "Forensic Files", Discovery Channel.

Books:

Currently; The Bible, and "Growing Through Divorce" by Jim Smoke.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, my mother. Our service men and women.
