I feel the need to confess something: This is the first time I've tried this, since my wife passed into the Force, and I've got a job that's really taking its toll on me, so bear with me if I'm still trying to find some emotional high ground here.

The big thing I want you to know upfront, though, is that I'm a sensitive man, in touch with my emotions without sacrificing strength. I've been known to be very demonstrative before, although given some of the things I've had to deal with, I feel like that's pretty much par for the course. I think that tendency can upset some of the more conservative-minded people I work with, although it's hard when the people who report to you have a habit of mocking your spiritual beliefs, claiming that their ride is more of an "ultimate power in the universe" than your deeply-held search for inner truth.

Correction: had a tendency of mocking my spiritual beliefs.

I'm also a father of one, although I've heard rumors that there might be another child out there. Please don't leap to judgment - I've reached out to my son and even offered him a fairly high-level job with me and a chance to bond, and any children that I might have that I'm unaware of are due to my wife's family and friends trying to alienate her from me due to my religious journey. I know my son and I have had our conflicts - he got angry when I first met him and totaled my vehicle at the time - but I want you to know that, at the center of my being, is a simple desire to reconnect with what's important.

I have a job that I find very rewarding, aside from the tolerance issues I mentioned earlier, and my boss. I have to give him credit - he's really been a mentor figure to me and helped me get in touch with some emotions I was repressing, and supported me in my spiritual seeking. However, he has a tendency to think I'm trying to take his position, and he can be a bit strange when I try to bring up the subject of family to him.

Enough office politics, though!

At heart, I'm a fun-loving guy; I'm a licensed pilot with a unique set of wings I like to fly, and although I get a chance to fly at work occasionally, I'm more than happy to take the right lady for a ride. I'm also big into travel - I recently got back from a trip filled with glaciers and the cold, although it's good to be back in a more temperate climate! I've been into meditation for a while, now, and always make sure to keep up with the latest in culinary science, although the last family dinner I tried to host had a bit of drama in it.

I do want to make one thing clear before I go any further, though, and I completely understand if it's a dealbreaker - I had an accident at work a few years back that's left me disabled in many ways, although, with assistive technology, I'm still able to maintain a vibrant, full lifestyle just waiting for the right partner. I've always been a big believer in taking care of myself, and, although I understand that some might find prosthetics off-putting, I've been told that I have a killer fashion sense - mostly black, but I've been experimenting with some silver accents lately, and a little touch of red when some emotion is called for.

If you've read this far, I should probably mention that I'm also big into a dynamic, fulfilling relationship in the bedroom. I'm open to a lot of things, although if you're into some (consensual, of course) choking, I promise you won't be disappointed.

I'm still working through a dislike of sand, but I promise, I'm not at all judgmental.

Looking forward to your messages!
