Work

I am currently a full-time student until July 23, 2016 when I will finish a Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction in Bible Literacy.  I also run a small business as a tutor of German, French, and English.  I have been out of the formal classroom since 2000 and have spent the last nine years as a certified Life Coach and Pastoral Counselor.  My first love, however, is working with adolescents, hence, my return to being a in a Catholic high school.  I am currently conducting a job search.
Hobbies and Interests

reading, research, surfing the Net, maintaining friendships around the world, prayer/meditation, teaching myself Germanic languages, working out (weights & cardio), ice skating, genealogy, Classic Rock, but enjoy a smattering of most musical genres, Classic Films and a few cult films too, traveling, etc.
Pets, Children, Grandchildren

Single, never married, no children and have a 14.5 year old West Highland White Terrier named Sprite who is my bestie.  We’ve been together since he was three months old.  I value my close friendships very much, especially those of long standing.
Faith / Denomination

Old Catholic
Relationship Status

I have spent most of my adult life single although I have had a few longer term boyfriends (2-5 years), have only lived with one man for three years.  I am currently single, but hope that this changes at some point in the not too distant future.  I feel as though I’m finally ready to settle down and be available to a committed, loving relationship.
Degree of "Outness"

I don’t generally broadcast my sexual orientation nor do I hide it necessarily.  I let people draw their own conclusions if they don’t know me well.  I am a low key, chill, easy goin’ man for the most part.
