In His Own Words
About him
Every new day brings a sense of magic and possibility that fills me with anticipation for the sunrise. While forms may try to put me in a box, I see myself as a true child of Europe. My Ripuarian heritage means I was raised in the heart of the continent, with deep ties to the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and Germany that have infused my perspective.
For over two decades, I held executive roles with a pan-European remit, allowing me to immerse myself in the rich tapestry of cultures. Though London has been my chosen home for 20+ years, I make sure to nurture my roots by visiting the landscapes of my upbringing throughout the year.
Now comfortably retired, I'm embracing my "Ikigai" - that fascinating intersection of passion, mission, vocation and profession. I'm eager to forge new connections and share the joie de vivre that comes from truly understanding what it means to be European.
About his ideal match
I envision meeting a confident, radiant woman who embraces herself fully - her aspirations, her passions, and especially her beauty inside and out. While pursuing the work that engages her talents and spirit, she also delights in the simple joys - feeling the fresh air on her face and cozying up for those intimate, meandering conversations that explore every fascinating corner of "God's green earth."
Not to say she takes herself too seriously, of course. Laughter is essential. I crave a partner with whom I can share uninhibited smiles and jokes that bring us to tears of mirth. An endless font of joy, wit and wonder to balance the profundities.
In her, I hope to find a kindred spirit - one who savors each new day as a magic-filled gift to be unwrapped together through our meeting of hearts and minds. If this portrait resonates with your own ideals and paints a portrait you find appealing, I'd be honored to explore the possibilities further.
