Just your average guy.  I'm a loyal and trusting friend who enjoys meeting new people.  I'm of average height with brown hair and blue eyes.  I'm originally from Texas and will always be a Texan at heart, no matter where I live.

While I have everything checked as far as what I'm looking for, what I'm really looking to do is make good friends all over the world.

I enjoy reading and writing about history, particularly​ American history.  I am a birdwatcher when I have the time and I love the mountains.  I enjoy nights out for dinner and movie or perhaps a concert, but also enjoy quiet evenings at home watching television or perhaps a movie, or sometimes just sitting quietly thinking.  I have a desire to learn another language, preferably German or Russian.  Oh, and I'm a high school science teacher.

I prefer country music, but listen to occasional rock, pop, jazz, and blues.

Loved the original three Star Wars movies, and basically anything by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are to my liking.  I also enjoy old westerns and some of the older classics.  My all-time favorite movie is Jeremiah Johnson with Robert Redford (hence the profile title.)  I like Bogart films and the occasional drama.

Seinfeld reruns, wildlife shows on public television and the Discovery Channel, and history programs on the History Channel, Deadliest Catch, and I when I watch regular t.v. I tend to find myself on the TVLand channel watching the old classic series.

I prefer reading about western U.S. history, although I love historical novels about famous people.  One of my favorites is Winston Churchill's official biography.  I don't find a lot of time to read, but when I do I only require that the book keep my attention.
