I'm an LGBTQIA+ ally who's fortunate to enjoy excellent health, wonderful friends, an engaged and active lifestyle, an advanced-degree education, and a stable and promising career in STEM. I exercise most days each week and eat a healthy, varied diet with little meat, very little alcohol (usually 1 drink or less per week), no tobacco, and no drugs. I'm also a highly respectful and responsible empath who doesn't have a criminal record. As I'm living single without any children, I'd like to find a way to give back and make my life about more than just myself. I feel deep admiration of my family members and close friends who are such intentional and generous parents, and I'd like to offer my own support to neighbors out there who are hopeful parents. I'm willing to get additional health tests, sign a donor agreement contract, relinquish parental rights, and have no-contact or an uncle-like role.

I appreciate all of my friends who are willing to share their life stories and perspectives with me, as relating in this way is for me a continual and hopeful journey of healing and growth. In terms of art, I enjoy attending musical concerts and dance and theater performances, and visiting museums and art galleries. I find my own creative outlets in photography and playing a few different musical instruments, in particular the piano, organ, bass guitar, and traditional drums. I also enjoy cooking from home. In addition to my own native English language, I've enjoyed my formal studies of both Spanish and French. I'm an enthusiast of the outdoors who feels confident and in my element while hiking, camping, running, long-distance cycling, practicing target archery, and sailing.

Home for me is Rochester, Minnesota in the United States of America. I'm willing to host or travel.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I look forward to talking with you and hearing about your family goals and whether I might be a good fit.
