In His Own Words
About him
I’m well travelled — I’ve been north of the Arctic Circle and south of Milford Sound, and I’ve climbed Snowdon and Scafell Pike under my own steam (Ben Nevis defeated me with snow… for now).
By background I’m an engineer, which means I’m practical, curious, and enjoy understanding how things work. I like discovering new ideas and I’m always happy to learn something new — sailing or even learning to fly are still on my list.
I enjoy a good chuckle, sunshine, YouTube rabbit holes, and cooking for someone who has opinions about how things should taste.
I’m not the loudest man in the room, but I’m thoughtful, independent, and appreciate meaningful conversation.
About his ideal match
I’d enjoy meeting a feminine, independent woman who values conversation, weekends away, and sharing experiences.
Someone impulsive or adventurous would be wonderful — especially if she might teach me something new.
Dogs, cats and curiosity all welcome. I'm not too keen on alligators or anything that snaps!
