High energy, multi-talented, high IQ, silverback. I seek to meet someone who wants a long term relationship and children. Friendships are also welcomed. A curious child, by age seven had read Britannica and according to mother remembered most of it. Long time friends keep asking when will I write a book about the interesting things I have done. "Maybe, when I've finished doing them". I love extreme living, am an Outward Bound graduate and former instructor. A Master Mariner and former pilot, a survivor of a North Atlantic "perfect storm" and five other close calls as a result of my life style. I run towards danger not from danger. Preservation of life is paramount. I pay a debt for the life I have been given back so many times as a volunteer commander with the International Rescue Community (my hobby). Biologist by degree, Master Cabinetmaker and Luthier by trade with instruments in several symphonies. To help pay my tuition at university I designed clothing for a couturier in Montreal and designed food for restaurants. I still create great foods for a singles cook book "Cooking with Zest, the Fun and Fah of Fine Cuisine". I recently founded a telecommunications auditing company. To describe my passions would be many. Passionate about life and all that it entails, international foods, great wines, world music, and even splitting firewood. Former surf Life-Guard, Sailor (yachts), Scuba and Outward Bound Instructor. I love family and friends and consider myself a humanitarian.
