I'm 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Dutch. I can cook very well, am well traveled, intelligent, romantic and a gentleman. Chilvery is not dead. I am close with my family and friends. I oil paint, have been in the music business as a performer/producer/manage r, played lots of competitive (semi-pro, etc) sports and still stay athletic. I brew beer and am damn good at it. I grew up in California and love the ocean, the sun, the snow, mountains. Well, I would have to say the outdoors in general. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate a lazy day in, veggin' out sometimes. I work hard on myself, my career, my dreams and aspirations. I look at the reality of things and realize I know who I am and what I have to offer. It'd be nice to come across that missing piece to the puzzle. The woman that fills in my blanks (so to speak).
