I live in the Andes Mountains on a remarkable riverfront ranch that I own in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. I'm developing beautiful home sites and much more. The air is pure, the scenery spectacular and the climate is perpetual springtime. This is a unique and beautiful place, as close to the mythical Shangri-La as it gets. I enjoy running, tennis, swimming, yoga, fitness, writing, teaching, thinking, reading, good conversation, tracking world events, beauty, design, films, gardening, order, balance, home life, solitude, companionship, romance, intimacy, and more. I am a kind, playful, intelligent, handsome (subjective), warm (Italian), honest, reliable, creative, and thoughtful man. Gentle and sensual, I am articulate, insightful, contemplative, progressive, liberal politically, non-religious, athletic, very fit, 5'8 and lean with green eyes. Calm and well balanced, I am a person with whom it is easy to communicate. I'm a multidimensional, well-educated person with high standards, classic tastes, and many life experiences. I am a one-woman man, single since 1996. I have zero baggage. I have several degrees, an undergraduate from Penn State University and two masters: one in architecture (University of Colorado) and one in divinity (Harvard University). I have worked in a number of different fields (military officer, professional athlete, businessman/entrepreneur, architect, candidate for the U.S. Congress, author of a number of books, etc). I seek a healthy and intimate relationship with a stable, honest, sincere, attractive, intelligent, educated, health-conscious, communicative, warm and affectionate woman. You have excellent tastes, high standards, and are comfortable in most any setting. You are concerned about your appearance, dress well, and are fit and trim. Competent and self-assured, you are comfortable with yourself and enjoy your life. You seek an exceptional life partner with whom to share life's joys and challenges.
