I am a Christian man (Lutheran) and my faith and attending church regularly are important parts of my life and keeps me strong. I am big into open communications, and mutual trust, honesty, integrity and loyalty which are key elements to a solid foundation in a relationship. I am a romantic guy and love to plan weekend get-aways to bed and breakfast Inns, trips up the coast, romantic dinners, send flowers or cards for no special occasion, etc. I'm not much of a dancer but would like to take lessons and get better. I like water sports, especially power boating at large lakes and the Colorado River areas and coastal sailing. I am without a boat at the moment, since I sold my last one due to the separation/divorce and the related costs. I also like photography, most types of music, home-improvement projects, attending concerts, shows, plays, reading a good book, get-away weekends, traveling, dining out, church activities, etc.
