I’m a risk taker—professionally and personally. Putting oneself out there in the dating world is challenging, but let’s hope the reward is worth the risk. I appreciate intelligence and thoughtfulness—being considerate of others is key. I like to think of myself as having a droll sense of humor, and a well-used one at that! I like people who don’t take themselves too seriously, and can laugh at themselves. I am described as being unpretentious, caring, truthful, and funny! I recently relocated from New York (Long Island, Manhattan) to South Florida, having spent a fair amount of time here, and look forward to a less complicated lifestyle. I am an attorney and a one-time-sort-of real estate developer. I have, and appreciate in others, a sense of accomplishment for a "job done well" through perseverance, grit and determination. I recently took a sabbatical after settling a grueling (7 years’) case, did some exploring, and think I’m now ready to reenter the real world and settle down. Career-wise, am looking for “Act II”, as have become fairly cynical about law and judges, since today unfortunately being a good lawyer seems to require one to be a good liar, which I’m not. I will be teaching law as adjunct professor at some area colleges. I earned my B.A. at Brown University; JD at SUNY/ Buffalo; and, an M.S. in Real Estate Development and Finance at NYU. Also, I have always been my own self-motivated man, and enjoy working independently--from anywhere in the world. My bicycle and my skis are essential equipment; add my laptop so that I can work from anywhere, and I’m a happy guy. Visiting different places expands one’s mindset and makes me appreciate other cultures, and I am very open to meeting women from other cultures. But if English is not your first language, high-level fluency is essential to get my understated humor and musings. I identify as being raised Jewish, with heritage from Poland and Russia, but do not practice. I dislike tribalism. I subscribe more to (Bill) Clintonism: “Our similarities as humans are greater than any differences.” I have two grown daughters who do not live with me; one is a math tutor and the other is in medical school (Baylor). I have no pets, but have recently begun volunteering as a dog-walker at a shelter. I am happier living in the suburbs with grass, wide-open spaces, lakes, and a pool I can jump into any time; more so than in a high-rise in the city.

What I like to do: sharing, reading, biking, hiking, kayaking, flying, rowing, adventure travel, sunset walks, cooking, gardening, meditating, sailing, yoga, workingout, deep philosophical discussions, laughing, being silly, communicating, affection, caring, you name a few. I like a wide variety of music, especially oldies and classical I spend some time in San Diego, after living there 15 years, and could spend more time in San Diego, but live in Mill Creek near Seattle. The best of both worlds, pacific northwest's natural beauty (at least in summer) and the sunshine of San Diego. I truly am an adventurous outdoor enthusiast, enjoying hiking to a highmountain lake for exercise and to enjoy the scenic beauty, best shared with a special life partner. I prefer a partner who can talk with me about anything, communication is essential to a longterm relationship, yet having fun is imperative to a happy life. I am affectionate and sensitive, but still a man, loyal, dependable, consistent, but adventurous. I am happy, realistically optomistic, humerous, fun loving, down to earth, yet can be sophisticated when necessary, but am always true, respectful and in awe of our universe. I have no political affiliation, but tend to error on the conservative with most issues, when I don't error on the liberal. I am serious about finding a life long relationship, but would welcome a friendship that is meant to potentially develop into a life long partnership. It takes a while to get to know some one to know if there is that compatibility, but we know immediately if there is potential. I don't like changing, and am not unduly picky. We all have many opportunities, but we must be true to our own hearts before we can be true to a partners. In a lifetime relationship, growth is inevitablely at least partially on a different path, and its the want to continue with a long term mutually gowing union that may be the most essential quality for two to make it happen. And having fun with this whole journey can make it all enjoyable. Health is one key to happiness, and Happiness to me is not a feeling, not having material possessions, or control, but happiness is a way of life, an attitude, a way of living that is connected to everything and everyone, the universe, animal life, plant life, the soil, rocks, air, space, water, time and the progression of civilization. Happiness is a oneness with all life, life force, energy, matter, and things we cannot imagine And living this association while being aware of it and enjoying being a part of it, no matter how major or insignificant. That is what is most important: to be, to know; and if influential, hopefully beneficial. As was so eloquently expressed by ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, in David LaFlamme's song PLACE OF DREAMS "...And we are one with the earth and air, climbing the ascending stair, to the temple of the dawn. In a moment of time, after dreaming sublime, refreshed before the climb. We smile, and are gone. "
