All this seems like it’s just preliminary info to figure out if we’ll get along and be able to chat about whatever long term. And I’m sincerely looking for something long term. Everything gets so much more intimate and casual and comfortable the longer you talk to someone.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, hike, kayak, garden, raft, camp, cook, and am typically pretty happy. I have a good life, but clearly I want more.

I’m a bit of a nerd but also a bad ass - I mean, I raft rivers. It’s awesome. But I also love to learn and listen to hours worth of audiobooks a day. I do puzzles but I also am a bit handy. Maybe this is all relevant, maybe it isn’t.

I can be intense. I care passionately about life and the world. But I’m also very laid back - I smoke some weed, drink whiskey, and like to enjoy life. I like to think I’ve found a nice balance.

In March I did a 4 week rv trip across the country with my family. It was dope.

I’m very educated - two master degrees and a teaching certificate. But I also worry about where education is headed.

I love doing voice notes.

Attraction is important to me, and I think it makes all this more fun when we’re hearing for each other a bit. I use telegram. I’m bald with a short beard and look pretty good without a shirt on. I work out and like sending videos to my partner. Would you like that?

I’m very available during the day. I never disappear. So if the idea of getting long voice notes while I’m out on a walk with my kids you should send me message. I want to share my day with you, my thoughts and passions, my concerns and fears, my excitement at what’s next.

When you send me a message maybe say a book you’ve read recently, where you want to travel next, or what decade you wish you were living in.

I hope to hear from you.
