I have had many wonderful experiences in my life which has helped make me who I am today. I once spent 17 days in a remote China and lost 17 pounds during my stay. However, I came a way with a life long friendship. I have seen the cattle lands of Argentina and the beaches of Rio and spent many of great weeks in Alaska. From these adventures as well as many others, it was not always smooth sailing. But through it all there was something positive, new friends and exciting memories. My best friend once told me that, “John, you are too much of a push over sometimes” and he is right. I am a giver first and a lover. I know myself well enough and can tell you, I am honest with my feelings, strong willed about morals and simple in taste. I enjoy riding my motor cycle and touring the country as well as the challenges of golf and reading for pleasure. I can just sit for hours at the beach and watch the waves or grab the bogie board and hit the waves head on. I can sleep all day but am driven to be the best at what I do for a living. I am only motivated by how I treat others and not by their actions. I love my little dog and am creative in the kitchen. I live for long, slow hot baths with candles and wine and sitting by the fire on camping trips. I have so much to offer and do not live with my past but have learned from it. Regarding relationships I do know that it can never be about me or just about you, to work and last, it has to me about US!
