I'm originally from the Bronx New York. I had moved down to Houston Texas after graduation for a job offer as a Marine Engineer (you bet I get my hands dirty while at work, no biggie). I'm well educated and have a career, not a job, which is very stable. I love to travel (I've sailed to 11 different countries around the world). I'm a very driven and goal oriented person, I have a set plan for my life in order to get to where I would like to be, but I don't mind taking a few good detours.

I'm the type of person that will put myself on the spot just as long as it makes you smile or laugh. I don't mind being romantic at all, I love being so. Also, I make sure that the other person that I am with feels special and appreciated. I may be very independent but that does not mean that I don't need you.

I'm looking for a woman that likes an independent man. One that appreciates a guy that does his own thing and knows that they're still wanted appreciated or needed. One that knows how to respect a guy, well educated and is driven in life to become something, plus someone that's romantic. I find it hard sometimes to find a woman that appreciates a guy that's romantic himself.

For fun I like checking out out new movies on my free time, also hanging out at any museum. I love listening to live bands play from around the area. I wouldn't mind seeing an Astro's baseball game if I get the chance, and definitely hitting up some local bars.
