I am a down-to-earth guy, a family man, dog lover, who likes to spend time with friends and family. I love to hike, jog, ski and have been a lifelong martial arts practitioner. I play guitar, mainly blues and metal. Music is a constant in my life, so is reading. Clearly introverted, but definitely sociable as well. I had pen pals in the 80s and I loved that, so here I am to find some new people. Disclaimer : I am happily married and I seek long-lasting friends, not romance. I like real discussions, long and meaningful messages.
