About Me
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 definietly not the usual, run-of-the mill type - thinking outside the box more often than not. I'm a very decent human being, and have been told by several women, that I'm actually quite special! 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 definately 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 now Clinician/Psychotherapist for adults, children and families with behavioral, emotional and mental health issues. I am also studying towards a state license to be licensed towards same. 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.On a first date I'd like to meet in a public location, probably an ethnic restaurant (how about Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Italian or Greek?) for lunch or dinner. This would afford us the opportunity to spend some time in conversation and get to know one another. Other possibilities can certainly be discussed.A subsequent date might include a movie (preferably an independent, foreign or quality one) or an outdoor outing to Walden Pond, Cape Ann, the White Mts., NH, VT, ME, the Berkshires, NY, a picnic (Purgatory Chasm, perhaps) or something that is mutually agreeable.
