Isn't it hard to describe yourself in a few sentences? Okay, let's give it a try...



My Faith. This is a good place to start because it is a very important part of my life. In John 3:3 Jesus said,

"unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

I am a born again Christian as Jesus used that term. I became a follower of Jesus Christ at age 19, and went on to graduate from a Bible College. My faith is one of the most important things for you to know about me, because it influences all of my decisions and my way of life. I'm reading God's Word daily (usually read the whole Bible every year), memorizing scripture and reading good books that grow my faith. Devoting time for prayer is a high priority in my life. I'm looking for a future wife who shares my faith and who enjoys discussions about the Bible and spiritual things, and who enjoys praying together. If you would not consider yourself a "Born Again Christian", then you might as well not waste your time and quit reading right here because there is not going to be a match.



My Interests. I am an explorer at heart, and I love to travel. I have a natural curiosity and always want to know what is over the next hill or around the next bend in the road. I've been to about 96 countries. I used to do the backpacker low budget kind of travel, but tend to add in a few more creature comforts now. I still love going to places the tourist groups avoid, and enjoy camping and hiking. Whether it is a safari in Kenya, hiking into the mountains of Rwanda to find Mountain Gorillas, paragliding in Bali, train trip across China, Trekking to ancient villages in Tibet and Nepal, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, SCUBA diving in Malaysia or exploring by motorcycle in Thailand, I never tire of discovering new places. But it would be SO MUCH more fun if you were with me!



I enjoy snow skiing and snow boarding, hiking, biking, SCUBA diving and snorkeling, paragliding, motorcycle riding and sailing. I'm a reader and enjoy a variety of non-fiction, especially history and biography and Christian Spiritual growth themes. Aviation has been a big part of my life and I love to fly. I have a light airplane and it is pure joy to get in my little airplane and fly for fun. I also fly helicopters and gliders.



My Personality. I'm a thinker and somewhat analytical. I love technical things. I am a reader of mostly non-fiction. I love history and biography, travel and geography, theology and spiritual growth and of course aviation. I am an introvert, but not on the extreme side. I take an interest in people and am one to draw out the other person in conversation. Everyone has a story, and it is often an interesting one even if they don't think so. On the Meyers-Briggs scale, I'm an INTJ.



My Career. I am retired now. I was a professional airplane pilot for 40 years, and I loved it. Now I just fly a little airplane for fun. I’m spent most of my career flying Boeing airliners all over the world and did some small jet charter as well. I've worked for several companies but have been a captain since 1995. I have been engaged in various types of aviation, including paragliding, sailplanes, helicopters, and airplanes of every size. I have one airplane of my own that I fly for fun.



My Goal. I am looking for a wife. I believe in and practice the biblical teaching on sex and marriage. I have never been married, but recognize that my life is incomplete as a single man. The male can bring home the twigs, but the female is the one to feather the nest. I am attracted to Filipinas because of their natural beauty and I appreciate their strong family values. I am attracted to women who are petite and who have an outgoing and cheerful personality. Personality is huge for me. I’m looking for a people person. Intelligence is sexy. I have never been married and never had kids, so if I could find someone young enough to have children that would be a bonus.



I am looking for a girl who has a relationship with God, not just religion. If you read the New Testament, you know Jesus was constantly in conflict with the Pharisees who were the most religious people of the day. But they didn't have a relationship with God, and Jesus was all about relationship with God and with each other. There is a proper hierarchy of relationship in the Bible. God FIRST, spouse second, children third, and extended family fourth. When that priority is maintained, everything works a lot better.



NOTE: I hate dishonesty. I personally strive for integrity in all that I do, and I expect it out of my future wife from day one. If we start to communicate and I discover that you have lied about some things (religion, height, weight, children... whatever) in your profile, it's over. Trust is foundational to any relationship, and if you prove to be dishonest from the get-go it will nuke the relationship. Any man/woman would be stupid to continue to build a relationship with a partner who lied to him from the beginning. Just tell the truth. Always. I won't tolerate dishonesty in you and you shouldn't tolerate it in me.
