I'm recently retired from the aerospace industry due to downsizing at the ripe old age of 50. Recently I was living in Bismarck, North Dakota and tried Pensacola, Florida but couldn't handle the heat and humidity and ended up pitching a tent in Moorhead, Minnesota...brrrr! For many years, I played organized ice hockey in North Dakota where we even played the Soviet Red Army Team and Spartak back in the 1980's. I finally hung up my skates for good in 2001. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and my only vice in life is speeding a little faster than I should in my 2003 Black Dodge Dakota Pickup. I'm very shy and have that simple down to earth family values that I grew up with in North Dakota. I hate grits but love homemade tacos. I have always been honest and open about my feelings. German Shepards and I have something in common.... we both like being scratched behind our ears. I'd give you the shirt off my back as long as you are trying to help yourself. I'm the guy that stops and helps you when you have a flat tire....I'm also the guy that knocks you into oblivion if you ever try to hurt somebody I love and care about. There are still some good quality guys out there...you just need to know where to look. My motto in life has always been a simple one...."Follow Your Heart and Never Look Back" Please...I don't won't to hear about your past abusive husbands or boyfriends because I'm not responsible for their actions...I'm only responsible for my own actions. If you're a smoker please look elsewhere. Give me coffee and nobody gets hurt! Plus I give the world's greatest foot mages. A sense of humor a must!!! Canadians may email me but must be able to read and write above the 3rd grade level which eliminates 80% of you guys, eh?
