I am a pretty happy person despite having a few rough years (wife's car accident battle). Most people who first meet me are surprised when they learn more about me. Most people don't know there is tragedy behind the smile. I have an ability to overcome adversity with optimism and strength. I choose the optimistic path, and not one of the victim or pessimism. Life is what you make of it. Dealing with a loss teaches some great life lessons, and that in itself is a gift.
I spend a lot of time with my daughter. For fun I like to spend time with my daughter, be out on the water and outdoors, garden, eat a wide variety of good ethnic food, watch sports, go to concerts and live music events and travel. I also love to have friends over,invite them for good dinner and have good conversation over a glass of wine, with plenty of laughter thrown in the mix.
I will say i am a very nice man with a good sence of humour. i am very humble, caring, loving, slow to anger, hardworking and affectionate. I love life and every good thing in this world. i love to travel but i get to travel most times cause of the nature of my business. I run my own company and i am really dedicated to hard work and very deciplined. I am a widowed man. i lost my wife 4years ago and i was left with my beautiful daughter who is 6yrs old + now. I own my home in Illinois here and also my head office.

I'm looking for someone who has a good sense of humor and has a passion for life. I like to laugh! Someone who has varied interests and a curiosity to learn more about the world. I want someone who loves children, is dependable and shares my interests. An open mind and empathy for others is also very important. Honesty is a must.
