I am financially secure, educated and cultured, kind, usually thoughtful and mostly caring. I place value on fitness, a meaningful personal faith, and am comfortable with my looks. I am not threatened by ambition, prosperity or accomplishment. I enjoy travel, fine dining and selected luxuries in life, yet I value and enjoy also the blessings of a simple life. I am educated, yet unpretentious; intelligent, yet intellectually humble. I appreciate the art of conversation and know that a candlelit dinner without the same is a waste. I am not committed to a particular relationship because I would rather be alone than with the wrong person. I am not threatened by different opinions. I am honest, kind and respect people. Essentially, I am happy, a professional pleased with my past career and challenged by my present. I am a dog-lover, articulate, globally traveled and blessed with loving friends and family. I enjoy reading, movies, photography, walking, biking and skiing. I absolutely love to cook, and to garden, and am passionate about creating a home and meals with tender loving care. I travel extensively, for both work and leisure and love the temperate climes. I have lived and worked mainly in Europe and Asia.
