There are so many cool, substantive people on here that it is really difficult to know where or how to begin. For me, this won't work unless I practice rigorous honesty. The best way for me to do that requires that I share as much information as I can. I am an artist; performance and design (technology). I was once a regional operations manager for a fortune 500 tech company, had a recurring role in a long running television series, worked in film, television & on stage, did voice over work and obtained a graduate degree when I was in my mid-fifties. When I was a younger man I studied for the priesthood. I am highly spiritual but not religious. I garden, cook, write & read. I like preparing my own food and really enjoy hosting friends and lovers. I adore animals and have a 70 lb., 1 year old Lab/Boxer rescue named Beckett. I have a wicked, sometimes acerbic sense of humor and love to laugh, out loud, a bunch. I love good conversation/discussion and am passionate about what excites me. I am tall and relatively slender although a theater critic once described as a "bear of a man" which I believe had more to do with bearing than an accurate physical description. I work out, practice yoga and walk a great deal. The physical needs of performing demand that I take care of myself and I work to satisfy that. I am physically strong and highly passionate but have a truly gentle nature. I am 420 friendly and, on rare occasions, like psilocybin as a means of gaining spiritual clarity. It is important to know that I do not suffer fools gladly and I am very suspicious of overtly religious folk--if you are an evangelical christian, it would be best if you just moved on or simply ignored any requests I might send. I won't be offended and we'll save ourselves a lot of time. Divorced nearly 10 years ago, I have not been involved with anyone since. It has been challenging and, at times, very lonely, but it was my choice and the dividends have been pretty solid and profound. My attitudes, beliefs, self-knowledge and discipline regarding sex, love & living authentically have evolved considerably. Friend me whether you're interested romantically or not. If you live in my area (or not) and simply want to get some coffee and yap or go the park, hit me up, I'm game.
