I'm a tall, handsome, intelligent mature gay man who lives in one of the most beautiful places on earth -- Taos, NM. I am articulate and active in my community. I'm an attorney that works in the District Attorney's Office as a prosecutor. I've been out to just about everyone my entire adult life, so I'm very comfortable being who I am. I don't wear it on my sleeve, but don't hide from it either.
I am raising an 11-year-old son. He keeps me very active. We hike, mountain climb, ski and camp in the mountains of northern NM and southern CO. I moved back to NM in 2003 from Hollywood, CA so that we could be here to do these things together.
I had a 10-year relationship with a great guy in the 1990s. We adopted our son together. He passed away in 1999 and I've been a single dad ever since. If I found the right guy, I'd consider adopting additional children -- I love having them around -- but am content with just one being a single parent.
I have been (and continue to be at a lesser scale) very political and involved in gay/lesbian activism. I worked many years as a nonprofit manager and fund raiser at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center and AIDS Project Los Angeles. I've only come back to practicing law in the past few years. I've lived in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, but prefer Taos.
My Ideal Person:
I'm looking for a stable, well-educated man in his late 30s to mid 40s. Slim Latino, Native American or other handsome dark men catch my eye most quickly. Great moral character and tremendous compassion are big with me. I'd like someone who also values living in the mountains and who enjoys outdoor activities. I'm looking for someone who will work hard to build a great life together.
You should probably consider yourself a top but as a couple I'll look forward to exploring all sorts of activities! Kissing, romance and foreplay are key to a great physical joining. If you are the sort that spends time worrying that strangers in a restaurant will think we are a couple, then you probably aren't out enough to hang with me.
You will, of course, need to understand that the next 8 years of my son's life will be a priority with me. Ideally, for you too. If you are, or would like to explore being a father of other children, I'd be supportive. I'm pretty connected to my work here in Taos, so if you aren't from nearby and you aren't interested in relocating we probably wouldn't work. (Unless you are just so damn sure that we'd make a great couple and you just can't help yourself -- then write!)
All of that said, the pressure of a potential LTR should not visit us on a first date, or second, or third. Commitments come only after a building of trust, but it is eventual commitment that I seek. If you are only looking to hook up for a sexual encounter or if you are married/partnered and looking for something on the side, I'm not interested. If you like what you see and read -- and think that we might hit it off -- drop me a note.
