Musical, curious, travelled, bookish, outdoorsy... I forage and cook, work with my hands as well as with abstract concepts. Mostly self-taught. Inventor. Entrepreneur. Physically strong. Not as comfy listing accomplishments or comparative points as may be called for here. Rather find truths together. Supportive. Uplifting. Concerned. Also an animal lover, especially in wild encounter form.

Lasting relationships come in more than a few forms, and I’ve been in a precious one with a woman a few years older than I for the past 7 years. She is a fantastic mother to an already adult son, and is not going to have more children. We are open with each other about our desires and unorthodox possibilities. She has seen me increasingly yearn to raise a life/lives and believes I should.

To pass on real felt value for life and future, with all their challenges, to another being - one coming from YOU no less - is as high a calling as we could have. Taking this seriously with someone similarly geared, ready to work out how together… is the commitment I’m looking for here.

Some background:

I skipped college after signing a record deal my senior year of high school, which immediately led me to tour and write records for 4 years. As a multi-instrumentalist, I remained a studio musician since, as well as a hired drummer for performances across the US - Carnegie Hall, Jimmy Kimmel Show, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Grand Ole Opry - and abroad. I invented a musical device during this time as well and patented it. But I did not go back to school until just before the pandemic, receiving my Associates in Science this year. I’ll continue my education, but I also work in a specialized mechanical business I run at present yet hope to hand off sooner than later.
