In His Own Words
About him
Qualities I've been accused of are loyalty, passion, calmness and being a gentleman. I aspire to intelligence, wit and depth of communication when in the right company. Life has proved very serious but I have strived to see the ludicrous and irrevrent. My friend from Sardinia recently described me as an intelligent, nice and funny guy. Grazie Andrea! My photos are all recent to be sure!
In life I've always sought the view from the top of a mountain range, more so when skiing. To accept decline and gradually descend towards inactivity is uncomfortable to me. I can talk and walk a good game of tennis but don't play as much as liked. I equally enjoy strolling in the countryside feasting on natures splendor and buildings with a sense of place. I grew up by the sea, miss the sunsets, air and even the haunting shrill echo of the seagull. But an occasional cultural city break to catch the theatre, a museum or an exhibition is a must.
I have enjoyed a successful worldwide career as a technical illustrator working in many countries between Saudi Arabia and Sweden. Having retrained and worked as an architectural technologist, my interest was the fusion of zero energy buildings with their footprint. I don't understand how peoples dream home is in the countryside, and it not be eco nowadays, improved air quality and energy independence etc. In recent years though I have progressed from property to facilities maintenance. I'm not a sun worshiper, as we know it ages us! But it's light in moderation, is what supports and connects all forms of life on our fragile shared home. Like many people I love animals and other cultures, but also understanding and preserving their life support system.
About his ideal match
Would love to meet someone kind, loyal, cosmopolitan, bright and emotionally stable. While someone elegant and classy would be great, a down to earth balanced person is equally desirable. My ideal would be a smart, sporty, ethical and earth loving lady. Which does come in many forms but I hope doesn't isolate me from too many matches! A creative/designer would be great also. Philosophical and historical debates perhaps. OK too much maybe! I do have though considerable vitality for life and to love and seek likewise.
I would now perhaps struggle with someone with no interest or opinion of politics. I wasn't in the past which is how a SUPREME leader of America is created! People should be saying!
