Hi, my name is Stephen and I live in Modesto, California. I am the owner of a small business and the father of three children, and both keep me busy and very happy. So please understand that I don’t have the ability to relocate.

My biggest priority in life is family. I love being a father, but I am missing that special woman to be my life partner and best friend. I am looking for the love of my life: someone who will love me, stand by me, and be an emotional pillar, and someone I can do the same for. I am a very affectionate guy. I love to cuddle, hold hands, and share lots of affection. I love spending time talking, and I enjoy the quiet moments, too. I’m looking for someone I can explore the world with, even if it’s just a short excursion nearby. I feel making time for each other is paramount.

Older or younger is okay, although, I would prefer someone within 7ish years of age. Gospel standards are important to me and I am looking for someone who strives to live by similar values. I am far from perfect, with mistakes behind me, but I try and want to do what is right. As far as dating and marriage, I do not care about past mistakes or previous marriages, as long as you are moving in the right direction. That’s what the Atonement is for.

I lift weights, run (I’ve done a few marathons and an Iron Man), bike, swim, snow and (span style="font-weight:bold;")wake board, yet I still hang on to a few extra pounds that just won’t leave. I don’t need a Barbie, but I would like someone to share a healthy life style with.
