Originally from Brooklyn, NYC, I live in metro Boston, MA for many years. Put a lot of value on mutual understanding and communication and its importance to a healthy relationship. I have a good capacity to accurately observe and interpret the world, understand and express how I feel about what I see. Am empathetic to those less fortunate and I try to be helpful to others. Am down-to-earth, easy-going, warm, honest, sincere, caring, affectionate, responsible, fair and friendly - a mensch! I'm definitely not the usual, run-of-the-mill type - thinking outside the box more often than not. I'm a very decent human being.
Enjoy outdoor activities, the splendor of nature, trips, scenery, mountains and sea coast. Been to most U.S. states and Canada - generally the National Parks (occasionally tent camping), hotels are great too. I've also lived for a number of years in Israel, as well as visiting in Iceland, Rome, London, Greece, the Azores, and many times to Canada. Also lived and studied abroad in Israel, earning a Bachelors (B.S.) and Masters (M.S.) degree in Earth Science. Have since gone on to study towards and obtain a 2nd Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I appreciate art, museums, music, quality film/DVDs (mainly independent and foreign ones) and exhibits. I enjoy board games (Scrabble, chess, and more), photography and such. Love children, animals, and pets.
Like to communicate, discuss and think and definitely lean strongly toward the politically liberal/left. I am inclined towards the intellectual, scientific, psychological, artistic and natural world. Am certified to teach Earth Science and worked as a high school science teacher. Also worked for the government for many years as a weather forecaster. Have been employed as a Site Supervisor, Rehabilitation Counselor and Clinician/Psychotherapist for adults, children and families with behavioural, emotional and mental health issues. Have also managed a consulting firm and published a news report on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
I am looking for a partner who will contribute to enriching and enhancing who I am and allow me to do the same for her. I am nurturing and looking for mutual support and encouragement. Ultimately, I'm looking for a long-term or marriage relationship.
