I'm a retired software engineer, married for 32 years, and a proud father of three amazing adult kids. I also spend time caring for elders and volunteering with a fantastic nonprofit working to fix food insecurity—a cause I’m passionate about. Over the years, I’ve had a successful career in software design and development, along with successful investing experience. I enjoy helping younger people navigate financial & legal literacy and build a solid foundation for the future. I tend to be a bit of an introvert unless I know you well. Wish I were better at small talk and initiating conversations with strangers—but I thrive in meaningful discussions and exploring life’s big questions. I wouldn't call myself a health nut, but I've learned a fair amount about nutrition, stress management, and exercise. I usually make good choices—but I definitely have my guilty pleasures. I drink moderately - enjoy wine, craft beer, an occasional bourbon or cocktail, especially in social settings where it helps me feel more at ease. At this stage, I’m figuring out what’s next, including my marriage, searching for ways to feel fulfilled, fit in and make an impact. If you enjoy curiosity, exchanging ideas, or just sharing thoughtful conversations, let’s connect! To be right up front, I’m not looking for a date or romance. I’m hoping to find new friends.
