I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

A friend described me as a kind, warm hearted man with a big heart. I'm a happy person and I have a great sense of humor. I like to make others laugh and smile. I'm a pretty mellow person and I'm young at heart. I don't get upset easily. I love animals although I don't have any at the moment. I also have a great son. I love going on road trips, exploring new places, hiking and being outside.. I love being by the water whether it's walking along the beach, listening to rapids, body surfing, or kayaking.
I was an archaeologist for 9 years and have been to a lot of different areas of the Western US. I was also an elephant seal docent at Point Reyes for a season.

Yes, true!
I am happily single and navigating life's adventures solo.
With no marriage plus zero offspring in the rear view mirror.
Speaking of adventures!
You will often find me soaking up outdoor beauty – it is where I feel truly alive.
While I appreciate the thrill of sports, my heart beats a little faster for the focus and artistry found in creative pursuits.
Now, here is a fun curve: I have developed a lifelong love for bowling.
(Though enjoying the lanes tends to be a rare treat...)
Rest assured, my monogrammed balls are polished and ready to roll – yes, bowling balls!
While I frequently enjoy strikes with plenty of dynamic pin action (Hubba! Hubba!) my daily life leans towards refreshing simplicity.
I frequently find immense joy in moments of casual relaxation.
I also wholeheartedly welcome spontaneity.
I potentially even entertain and enjoy radical impulse in unique and profound instances.
Ultimately, I deeply value vulnerability and the spark of genuine passion in life.

I am inherently a happy person who loves life in all its complexities. Not bound by convention, I am a pretty strong, independent person with varied interests. I care deeply about the environment and causes of social justice, especially the rights of children and animals and am active in rescue efforts both in the US and abroad. I love traveling, hiking, dancing (although I haven't been for a very long time), doing energy work (I'm a certified Healing Touch Instructor and Practitioner). Other loves: Nature; music; animals; singing; finding great little vegan restaurants; traveling; deep conversation; thunderstorms; the desert; mountains and rushing rivers. What is missing from a beautiful life is someone to share it with. If you are a kind, patient man with a well healed heart, sense of adventure and a sense of humor, love animals and nature, email me....You never know....we may just rock each others' worlds!

For a long time I felt without style or grace. Wearing shoes with no socks on... in cold weather. I knew my heart was in the right place. I knew I'd be able to do these things.
And as I watched myself digging my own grave. It was important to know that was where I was at. I couldn't afford to stop.... that was what I believed. I kept on digging for many years.

In theory, I practice presence / mindfulness and try to avoid speaking through ego. In reality, I'm outwardly a normal human being, totally not perfect, and I have my unconscious moments, too.
It would be great to find someone who shares a similar desire to be more conscious and is willing to both give and take helpful reminders when we start to slip up. Finding someone truly interested in this has been rather difficult for me. It is something I have had a hard time finding through traditional dating sites, so hoping to have better luck here.
I'm conscious of my physical desire for a partner and I'm following it with as much awareness as I can. I want to try to provide you with the masculinity that you desire from my side of a partnership while I keep from slipping into unconsciously identifying as a "side."
Some hobbies: backpacking, fermenting, movies, music, making smoothies and kale chips, day hikes, running, board/video games, and math/physics. I have a ton of appreciation of film, classical music, game design, and animation. I also really enjoy books, audiobooks, graphic novels and live performances. My creative outlets are through photography, video game development, philosophy, and, during the pandemic, I began experimenting with electronica. I'd love to meet someone with a couple similar interests, yet allowing space to pursue our own interests where they differ.
I'm not into labels, but my personality type was most recently INFP-A (MBTI), 5w4 (enneagram). Love-language was "physical touch" followed closely by "quality time."
I really like road trips, nature preserves, national parks, and occasional travel. Right now I'm a bit of a homebody, but I absolutely crave occasional social interaction. Usually, I much prefer to stay in and cook meals and watch a movie / Netflix / play something (alone or together) rather than go out to dinner, but I enjoy going to the movies, classical music, opera, and other live performances.
During the pandemic, I ran at least 10k every single day to avoid lockdown boredom in the steep Santa Cruz Mountains. Although I've reduced that due to repetitive injury, I care a lot about my health and hope you care about your health, too! I prefer to use natural healing for physical/mental health -- holistic medicine, diet, exercise, supplements, and meditation/present-mindedness to ease stress. I'm not on board with some pharmaceuticals used in conventional medicine that only treat symptoms!

I love writing, biking, walking, hiking, doing Taichi, preparing a nutritious meal, gardening, sewing, and observing nature. I try to live with mindfulness. I like to live a simple, yet meaningful life. I would like to develop my fullest potential in this lifetime and be able to contribute to the world ...
I wrote the following article on September 10, 2025, at 12:22 PM
>>> Your emotions determine your happiness, and
Your happiness determines your life.
Since my best friend, Dougald, left this world on June 28th this year,
My sadness hasn't diminished even a single day.
But the times of sadness have gradually decreased.
Most of us have feelings.
When we're sad, we don't need to resist it,
But rather understand why we're sad.
This experience of losing a dear friend
Has made me feel immense regret for his short life!
Because he was such a kind person!
Many say that for every effect, there's a cause.
Perhaps his early passing was due to this causal relationship.
I understand very well how the law of attraction works.
When you're happy,
The vibration you emit attracts things related to happiness.
When you're sad, you attract similar things that make you sad.
When you're angry, you attract similar things that make you angry.
... and so on.
So, to have a fulfilling life, the vibration you emit is crucial!
You can be sad, but don't let it persist for too long.
Learn how to transform sadness into strength.
When you're feeling down, realize that
Most people don't know how to control their emotions.
If you could handle it with a relaxed attitude, they wouldn't affect you.
Impermanence is a normal part of life; there's no need to lament it.
The important thing is to accept impermanence and strive to do what you love.
It will make you want to live a more meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful life!

I'm retired, vegetarian since 1994, care about my health and the that of the planet and it's inhabitants. I'm non-materialistic, a skilled craftsman, adore animals, love to be outdoors exploring the Earth and it's cultures. Quiet and laid-back, lean toward the road less traveled and anti-technology in some ways. Forests, quiet coastlines, deserts, hot springs, streams and waterfalls, modern progressive cities, I love to explore off the 'beaten path'. I'm open to relocating (especially outside the USA!), and the ideal life would include a peaceful, quiet, private rural location, a few companion animals, a big organic garden, and plenty of free time to enjoy life and to travel. Our Life would be centered around living and enjoyment--being active in biking, hiking, kayaking, snow sports, or any combination involving exploration of culture and the world. Since retiring in 2020 I have filled some of my time with Australian Shepherd rescue and fostering, currently five in my home only one is a foster. ;)
Interests:
Mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding-skiing-shoeing, snorkeling, gardening, cooking, repairing and building things, live music festivals, exploration and adventure travel, camping, hot spring soaks, dancing [contra, etc], motorcycling, renewable energy, green building, reading, music, playing with my canine friends!
Current plans are finishing a custom camper I have been building the past year, then explore S America!

My thought for the week:
Lovingkindness, the giving of oneself, is the highest form of giving.
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

I am not a Trump supporter. I am concerned about the climate crisis. What makes me laugh are the antics of baby animals. I have a small dog I adopted from Seattle Humane. He is a senior but still has a sense of fun. We go for walks twice a day. I love the ocean and lakes, but the ocean is a special place for me. I also love the mountains, the trees, and forest trails to go for walks on. I enjoy reading, movies, and plays. I belong to a group that brings musical performances to our community. I also belong to a book club.

Updating this section years later - originally I said that I was intelligent, quirky, messy and that I don't "go with the flow". That has not changed. What may have changed is that I have greater understanding of some of the reasons.
I would hope that everybody becomes wiser as they get older and gains greater self-awareness, though I think that it's also easy to become cynical and develop anxiety or fears (or develop other adaptations) that affect your day-to-day existence simply because the longer you are alive, the more likely that you have accumulated bad memories from what you have witnessed, and what you have experienced of the negative realities of our world.
As for me, I am wiser though I still have a long way to go. I'm still curious and mercurial which is not conducive to being organized, and I do pay the price for that. I think it helps me in other ways to keep myself from depression. I have very strong emotions and yet a really logical and analytical backbone which are often at battle.
I hate writing about myself, but as I just demonstrated, I can get carried away in spite of myself, so it's a good spot to stop and mention some of the more surface things, like...
My big focus right now is spending time outdoors where I live. It's rural, there's field, there's forest, there is always something to discover, from identifying plant life (which unfortunately includes battling some pretty aggressive invasive plants) and animal life, to weird insects and various other critters. Sitting amongst the tall grass knowing that I can't even be seen from the road is magical for some reason.
I have worked in technology (IT) for many years, yet I have to admit some of the magic is not there like it used to be. There are some ideas I had for projects that I am keen on if I can figure out a way to fit that in with the other things that dominate my time, without dropping the ball on one of them ...
Animal rescue/providing care/reducing suffering/promoting well-being. This is often painful, often sad, but it's what I value the most.

Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

I really love everything that is natural, but I'm still living in a city. I plan to move to the countryside someday. Anyway, I like my job (engineer working for the environment) and I enjoy sustainable travelling whenever I can. I do some sport (play tennis and do jogging), I like hiking, and go cycling once in a while (not easy in the city though). I love fine arts exhibitions and reading self-development books.

I was born and raised on the West Coast of Canada and moved with my family to Greece in 2022. I'm half Canadian and half Greek. I was an aspiring professional trumpet player for many years, but I burnt myself out in music school. After graduating I took a break and did some bike touring and volunteering. Nowadays I like to spend my time planting trees, picking fruit from trees, sitting under trees contemplating life, playing music, hiking, swimming...living a "simple" life.
