Thank you for looking at my profile. To tell you a bit about myself, I was born in Greece and raised in the US by Americans. I served in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years (18 to 38) and retired. While on active duty I was primarily stationed in Japan. And fortune smiled on me in the form of Japanese Martial Arts. I met and became the student of several of the best in the country. I hold a 6th Dan in Karate, a 7th in Iaido (A form of Swordsmanship), and teaching ranks in a traditional style of Jujiutsu, and pre-modern Kendo (Fencing). To be honest, I am a bit of a martinet when it comes to my training. So, I spent a total of 21 years in Japan. I enjoy traveling and go to Japan every year and Greece as often as possible. I do my best to be a gentleman and make my actions follow my words as closely as I can. I try to be a man of my word. I am family oriented and loyal. Even at this age I like a home with children. So, I do want to have one or two more. It's important to keep mentally and physically active. Learning new things or having an adventure keeps life fresh or teaches new ways to think. Last summer I started learning to sail. I really love to read, and read the Iliad every year. I would like to find that special someone who is family oriented and loyal. Someone who likes to talk (I do listen.), because I love to hear the music that is your voice. I want to see your bright smile every day.
