In His Own Words
About him
I am very much a 'people person' - I am considered fun to be with, bright and thoughtful. - I am romantic, tactile, and under hugged!
I have been self-employed since 1975 and am now almost-retired.
I created a way of mentoring that takes coaching to a new level and has helped Olympic competitors, sports players and business people.
My work/pleasure now involves helping people become happier & discover/achieve their ideal future - and teaching others to use my mentoring approach.
I love travelling and enjoy entertaining, going to the theatre and cinema (especially for transmissions from National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Co, Covent Garden etc) and like playing friendly golf and bridge, .
About his ideal match
Looking for someone intelligent who is confident, positive, open, honest, and fun - who prefers to share travel and experiences with a like minded companion (and likes to be hugged!). If she is also a golfer and/or bridge player that would be great (but not important). .
