In His Own Words
About him
My personality is based on traditional attitudes and beliefs but my career in the ever changing field of electronic engineering has meant that I have changed with the times and I am comfortable with the modern world. However, I do not like short term attitudes, preferring to make a plan carefully and then see it through to completion. I am a practical person with a wide range of qualifications and skills that I have used for many projects at work and at home.
I have been a runner throughout the early part of my life but converted to off-road mountain biking, which I take seriously as a means of enjoying the outdoors and keeping very fit while preserving my joints.
More recently I have started to learn church bell ringing, it's going well but it's a lot harder than it looks!
My days are often full and busy but the nights can be boring and I really feel the need to ‘pull in double harness’ with someone.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet someone with a similar (but not necessarily the same) range of intellectual and practical skill sets. This would enable us to enjoy the synergy of 'pulling in double harness'.
We could share interests in current affairs, the outdoors and
visit historical sites.
