I've lived in Oregon since 1981, moved from San Diego right out of high school. My partner and I have been together for 14 years (8/1/2008) and we enjoy traveling, especially Mexico and Spain and taking long road trips here in the west.

I'm a huge ENTJ and sometimes my personal motto of "go big or stay home" gets me into trouble, but hey that's what life is all about!

I love to travel, anywhere, anytime, if you want to see some of my travel pictures visit my website:

I started seriously working out in late 2006 after my weight ballooned up to 265, I had a very sedentary office job for about 15 years after having very physical jobs before that, it's amazing how the weight just creeps up on you. I've dropped 55 pounds so far, work out with a trainer twice a week and on my own the other three days.

The best thing I've done for myself is my diet, with few exceptions I've cut out all high fructose corn syrup, it's amazing all the things it's in, eat LOCAL fresh produce, which is easy living in the Willamette Valley, more wild fish, all natural beef and chicken, and organic everything when possible. I spend a lot of time reading labels, and if it has more than a couple of ingredients it's probably going to be bad!

I'm sure I'm doing a few things wrong, but I've never felt better.

I have found my soul mate, we have been together for 15 years in 2009, so I'm not looking for anything related to a relationship. I am looking to chat with other guys who have something interesting to say, could be about anything, I'm a pretty good conversationalist so hit me up.
