I work in higher education and am approaching an exciting new chapter, with retirement planned in about four years. I’m grounded, curious, and grateful for the life I’ve built, and I’m now looking to share the next phase with the right partner. I value good conversation, laughter, and a peaceful, drama-free life. Staying active and healthy matters to me, whether that’s through travel, exploring new places, or simply enjoying everyday moments together. I’m especially drawn to someone who is kind, emotionally mature, and comfortable with who she is. My hope is to meet a lady who sees marriage as a true partnership—someone who wants to travel, experience new cultures, and build a life filled with companionship, mutual respect, and shared goals. If you’re optimistic, active, and looking for a meaningful connection with an eye toward the future, we may have a lot to talk about.
