Hey there. Yes, I'm REAL and looking for the same!

I love learning and doing and favor experiences over things. A recent highlight was an epic 6+ hour hike to a mountain house in the majestic Swiss Alps that included a ride in a little mountain-made 3-person wooden gondola. That gondola ride was unplanned, but a great experience.

I value passion and curiosity. Tell me what you’re passionate and curious about and let’s discuss. Is family and raising great kids one of them? In fact, if you lack curiosity and are not passionate about something, we probably won’t work out.

I love music and enjoy a range of genres. Good music is good music. Hopefully, music speaks to your heart as well and kudos if you play an instrument (I’ll be in awe, but it’s certainly not a requirement).

I’m an engineer at heart and a well educated, accomplished tech professional so, yes, I’m a proud nerd and a surprisingly sociable one. I'm also genuine, kind, respectful, loyal, and caring.

I'm ready for, and would like, a family. I care about the world around me and want to strive to make it a better place. I would like to volunteer more, and would appreciate if that's something we did together.

Finally, a fun fact: I watch TV shows, but I don't have a TV subscription and really don't do social media. In no particular order, shows I like include Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Sense8.  Caution: If you're a fan of degenerate reality TV shows like Survivor that bring out the worst in people, we won't get along.
On a related note, here's a quote that I relate to. Perhaps you do as well...
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
