In His Own Words
About him
My friends would probably describe me as loyal, driven, and the one who's always willing to help out when someone needs it. I'm a Scottish lad living in the North East, a Royal Navy veteran, dad to two brilliant boys, and founder of a successful community-focused not-for-profit.
I love good conversation, a laugh that leaves your face hurting, exploring new places, and spending time with people who are genuine and kind. I'm passionate about building communities, supporting others, and making a positive difference where I can.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me catching up with friends, enjoying a decent coffee, getting outdoors, or planning my next adventure. Life's taught me not to take things for granted, so I try to make the most of every day.
If you're looking for someone who's emotionally mature, knows how to communicate, can make you laugh, and isn't afraid of a little mischief now and then, we should probably get to know each other. 😉
About his ideal match
My ideal match is someone kind, genuine, and emotionally intelligent. Someone who can communicate openly, laugh at themselves, and isn't afraid of a bit of banter. I'd love to meet someone who has their own passions and ambitions but also values quality time together.
A strong relationship, for me, is built on trust, honesty, respect, and being able to support each other through life's ups and downs. Whether it's a spontaneous day out, a weekend adventure, a quiet night in, or putting the world to rights over a coffee, I'd like to find someone who enjoys doing life as a team.
Deal breakers would be dishonesty, a lack of kindness, or someone who isn't willing to communicate when things get tough. Life's too short for games, I'm looking for a genuine connection with someone who's ready for something real.
