I grew up in the mid-west and south and later moved to NYC. Even though I love New Yorkers, I managed to hang onto my southern manners. I recently moved to Dallas for a new job and to be close to my family. Family and friends are the most important things to me. I have two awesome nephews and I'm not sure how I was able to keep myself away from their t-ball and football games for so long.

I didn't come out until I was 30 and I try not to define myself by my sexuality alone. I was married for seven years (yes, to a woman). I love to do almost anything outdoors and like playing most sports. I also like reading, watching movies, camping, having a few beers with friends, talking (but not yelling) about politics, and listening to music. Above all I love travel! I've been to a ton of places and take 2-3 big vacations a year. I just got back from two weeks in Europe and I plan on spending my next birthday on safari and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I have an adventurous soul and will try almost anything once.

I smile ALL the time and laugh at almost anything remotely funny. Mostly I laugh at myself. I just asked my best friend to describe me and he said: masculine, loyal, honest and caring. However, he's not that bright so I wouldn't trust him if I were you. ;-)

I tend to like younger guys who are masculine, attractive, genuine, down to earth, intelligent and with a good sense of humor. I have more in common with guys who take care of themselves physically and love being outdoors. Not into drama.
