In His Own Words
About him
I have a positive attitude, am outgoing, kind and caring. An animal lover,
I'm happy when I'm outdoors. Hiking or just walking the dog.. Or at the gym where I work out several days a week.
I'm happy indoors where I spend a lot of time reading. I'm a struggling writer, currently working on my third novel. My first was nominated as one of the NZ Listener's Top 100 books of the year. I've also won an international short story prize and had several stories broadcast on RNZ.
My musical tastes have changed over the years. I used to be a great jazz folk and rock fan and still am, but these days I'm more interested in classical music. I'm planning to visit the Verbier Festival next year.
I take care of my body and brain. Over the past few years I've taken a deep interest in neuroscience and in particular the benefits of exercise in avoiding sarcopenia in its many forms.
I'll would love to meet a classical music enthusiast to join me for concerts.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone to spend the next thirty or forty years with. Someone who loves classical music and wants to hear the great orchestras and soloists and operas here and overseas. Who's fit and healthy and enjoys long walks as well as good conversation with friends. Who's tolerant and believes in vivre et laissez vivre. Who has a rich and robust sense of humour. And who lights my fire.
