Introduction. Professionally, I work as a scientist and have succeeded academically (my work has been cited about 1,000 times) and in the business world. Personally, I'm looking for that serious, wonderful, and lasting relationship.I love camping, hiking, climbing, and swimming in clean (at least by WA standards) lakes.

I've collected far too many topographical maps than is healthy. I'm an avid reader with a soft spot in my heart for good mid-20th-century fiction. I also have a couple of plants that I've kept alive for many years. My Toro blueberries came out very well last summer, but let's not talk about what happened to the bush over the winter :(On TV, I'm happy to watch whatever my partner would like (although I reserve the right to make fun of it.) I really enjoy watching trashy relality shows and am eagerly waiting for the next season of White Lotus.

Physically I'm 5'7", svelte, and with a swimmer's body. While I spend most of my day in front of a laptop, I try to do something active about five times a week, and my appearance reflects that. Happy to share a picture once we connect.

Location: Seattle, WA; be within an hour's drive.

You live within an hour of Seattle and are within ten years of my age. You are quick-witted and good at banter. You care about your mental and physical health and want to better those around you. You are a kind person. Maybe you have a slightly bossy streak, and you may even like to wear the pants in the relationship. You have big clit energy.

Kink-wise: I'm, in very general terms, a switch with some submissive elements. It would be wonderful to scratch each other's itches in this area and to keep things fun and lighthearted.

Tell me about your favorite foods. I've been getting into making baked brie lately, which can be beyond delicious even when not done perfectly. After much experimentation, I've perfected my mojito recipe. If you've made it this far, ask me for it.
