Have you ever met a man that can build a home with his bare hands? Can carve a turkey with a dull butter knife? Or how about fend off a charging bear with just a glance of his eye?

Either have I...I just thought I'd ask ;)

If you're looking for someone that has not ever been married, doesn't have children, has a good sense of humor, is stable, honest, passionate, reasonably humble, strong, athletic and spiritually minded... I have some friends you might like to meet!

Ha ha, joking! The last paragraph is just a little bit about me:)

On a more serious note, I'm an adventurous and easy going guy and am proactive about continually improving all aspects of my life. I'm passionate about fitness which currently includes mountain biking, hiking, strength training and rock climbing.

Serving a mission for the church will always be one of the highlights of my life and I continue to serve others daily. The governing principles acquired while serving others continue to help inform my daily affairs. I regularly attend church and am driven to realize my potential and help others do the same.

I must confess-

I am an animal lover but would have to say dogs are my favorite.

As I hike or mountain bike I have caught myself admiring dogs while scarcely noticing the dog owner.

I have a poor sense of smell, so if you skip a shower or two I might not even notice.

Even though I have a poor sense of smell I still shower regularly.

I am a health nut but can slam junk food with the best of e'm.

I am philanthropist at heart and truly enjoy serving others.

I have traveled to many parts of the world which causes me to appreciate and love this great nation.

I cook a kick butt healthy breakfast.

I love kids!

Now for the more serious stuff! I’m using this service because of a profile I read while freely perusing this site. I came across a profile of a sister that was getting back into the swing of things after losing her only son along with her husband in a car accident. Her story was so compelling that it caused me to send a message of condolence and sympathy to her. I however could not send my message without first joining the service, so as you can see I decided to join this thing. I figured that since I subscribed to this that I might as well use it. To be honest, I prefer a more "organic" approach but it's interesting to see where our hearts will lead us if we follow them!

I am seeking healthy and entertaining social encounters as well as encounters that will lead to a more serious relationship. My ideal match would most likely be with those that are between the ages of 25 to 35, and share similar interests and values.

For those that are on the more serious mate hunt I have a few guidelines / expectations that I feel I need to list. I understand that what I write here may frustrate and / or offend some but my brief experience here compels me to mention just a few things. I am interested in those that have not yet been married and or already have children. I just want the same opportunity at a fresh start that most everyone wants. I am leery of those that have gone through a divorce unless there are unique and understandable circumstances.

So if this last paragraph has not soured or frustrated you or more importantly does not pertain to you and you are up for adventure shoot me a message or flirt and let's see where this thing takes us!

By the way, If I don't find a match here... or anywhere for that matter I'll hang up the dating gloves continue pursuing my other passions and continue to be an awesome uncle to uber cute kids. Either way I'll be content with what the Lord has blessed me with :)

Take Care :)
