Love: The irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. -Robert Frost
Hi! My name is Michael. I am a single-parent-father and gentleman living in the Madison area. I have lived in and around Madison all my life and know the surrounding areas well. I’m here to meet people, make good friends, and widen my social circle. I like to travel and will hopefully visit Europe this year for the first time. I have done a lot of domestic traveling for work and leisure in the past.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart. - Helen Keller
I hold an executive management position in the information technology sector in the healthcare industry. I specialize in healthcare information system integration. I have eighteen years of healthcare information system interfacing and automation experience. I am successful in my career and creative in my approach to troubleshooting and resolving unique problems created by mismatched systems and applications.
Before working in the healthcare field, I earned professional degrees for Automotive Mechanics and Collision Repair. I was a GM Mechanic for a time and also worked in an RV service garage.
Prior to being a mechanic, I worked in rental property maintenance and administration. I did plumbing, electrical work, construction, carpeting, and interior maintenance on apartment buildings and rental duplex units in the Madison area.
In my spare time away from property maintenance, I enjoyed my volunteer time at two separate horse ranches where I groomed, cared for, helped train, and got to ride many different horses boarded at those facilities.
The soul is not where it lives but where it loves. - Thomas Fuller.
I have attended courses and/or earned degrees from Madison Area Technical College and the University of Wisconsin. I hold many professional certificates in the Information Technology industry and feel blessed to have a wonderful employer where I have the ability to learn and grow.
Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. -Franklin P. Jones
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. -Ingrid Bergman
I value education and find myself intrigued in the sciences of our modern age. I always want to know the "how" and "why" something works.
Whether life is worth living depends on whether there is love in life. -R.D. Laing My family is very important to me and I am greatly satisfied in parenthood. Kids have a way of keeping me “young at heart”. My son is fourteen and my daughter is going on twelve. I have been a single parent for most of their lives and take pride and enjoyment in my responsibilities. We have a seven year old Greyhound-Lab mix dog named Max and a grey tabby cat.
Which James Bond Spy am I?
ROGER MOORE
I scored "55" on the Bond Test.
Hey there, you funky phat cat with a 'PH'. You're quite the modern man, complete with fashionable clothes, cool music and an attitude that says "hey, we're all spies, but let's keep the age in espionage and stay young forever. You're always keeping up with the latest things, which makes you the life of any party and certainly popular with the ladies. You know the finer things in life and know how to have a good time even in the worst situations. Your able to make comedic remarks in the most of serious moments which keeps you on the lighter side of life and a minute from death. Still, while all this shows on the outside, people can mistake you for nothing more than a party man, and the reality is far more serious. You're a highly intelligent individual who knows how to get things done; civilly when possible, aggressively when needed. You might have a hard time letting go of younger days, but with maturity comes greater authority and presence, and you'll remain imposing in both till the end. Ideal movies for you include: Live and Let Die; The World is not Enough and License to Kill.
Who I'd like to meet: Friends. The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
I would like the opportunity to grow out of reclusion and discover a new social circle of friendships. My life has been relatively islolated by choice as I have raised my children as a single parent father for the last ten years. I value genuine people who are caring, compassionate, and empathetic. I respect those who can appreciate the less-serious side to life and have a good sense of humor. I would enjoy the company of new friends to share interests, conversation, and activities.
Best-Friend, Life-Partner, Lover, and Spouse. Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.
WHY BLUES ARE HOT!
You Put Your Partner/Relationship First: People like to feel important, especially to their significant other, and you have the natural ability to make that happen. As a BLUE, you tend to be very selfless, and your first thought is always "how will this affect my partner?" You would be willing to sacrifice going out with friends or engaging in an activity that you enjoy on your own to do something less exciting with your significant other - not that they would necessarily ask you to - but just knowing you would is a great feeling.
You Make Events Magical: When planning something such as an anniversary dinner or a birthday party, you don't like to go through the same old routine that everyone else does. You have a flair for the creative and you seem to have a sense of how to create an ambiance by adding special touches that you know will be perfect for the occasion. For example, you might have personalized gifts or you might recreate something meaningful that happened previously in your relationship. You make ordinary things extra special, which is very endearing.
BLUE qualities you have:
You Are Unbelievably Thoughtful
You Emanate Quality And Purpose In All That You Do
You Give Your Heart Wholly And Willingly
You Are A Rock - Stable And Dependable
Your Capacity For Emotional Depth Is Remarkable
You Are A Class Act
You're a pro at going with the flow.
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer.
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done.
You're passionate - just selective about your passions.
I love your page. I can relate to your mechanical inclinations, however I'm not very tech savvy. I have tried once before on these networking sites, locked myself out of my own page. LOL. I like the pics n videos you have on here. Your kids are adorable.
