First and foremost, I am a full time dad! I have three beautiful children that range in age from eight to eighteen. So you must like children and preferably have your own. Honesty is a top priortity. I am an honest person and I expect the same in return. I am looking for a person that has spritual strength and perserverence. Humor is very important...laughter is a life giving force that makes the world a better place. I hope to find my soul mate one day and this is where that search begins. I was married one time and it lasted over seventeen years. I have been divorced over a year. I am not in a hurry to be in a serious relationship, however I hope to find someone to have a deep friendship that grows into something more. I know that this search will take time and I am okay with that. I have been through a lot in this life and I have maintained a positive attitude. I need the same in a mate. Attitude makes it or breaks it. Relationships are a lot of work, but worth all it takes to have a good one.
