Austen
44, Austin, United States

Recently returned to Texas, having been employed abroad for nearly 10 years. I'm most definitely a goal driven individual, and prefer to surround myself with people that possess the same quality. I've been fortunate to have traveled quite extensively, yet, there are still a few more places on the bucket list. Most recent international assignment was situated at 16,000ft in the Andes Mountains of Argentina. After 2 years of continuous snow, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, and looking like Tom Hanks from the movie "Philadelphia", I figured it was time for a break.

Most importantly, I'm "ME", I'm set in my ways, and not particularly interested in becoming somebody's projects. I'm cultured, refined, yet can be a little rough around the edges. I'm honest, faithful, blunt at times, and have a unique/pleasing sense of humor.


Currently undertaking a career change by choice, and fulfilling a goal I set 10 years prior. I hold myself to a higher standard, and have a "Go big, or Go home" mindset. This can be a flaw at times, but if properly managed, it is an effective tool.

My Ideal Partner? :

I guess I'll know when I find it.

In search of an accomplished partner who is happy with her current situation. My ideal type does not necessarily need to be in relationship, but rather appreciates one based on mutual respect and understanding.

I have worked in Dubai, Afghanistan, and Iraq for almost 7 years now. My job allows me to travel quite often. I am very happy with my current situation, and I hope to meet a partner whom I can begin another chapter of my life with.
