First, always
Truth
Nothing matters to me more. I would rather hear a hard truth than a comfortable story, and I will always give you the same. To me, honesty is the deepest form of respect, and the only ground a real love can grow on.
HelloHolaOlá
Quiet trails, big questions, and a seat saved for you.
You've seen my profile. This is the longer conversation: the things that don't fit in a few lines, and a look at the life I hope we might share.
Take the deeper dive ↓A little about me
Put me somewhere green and growing, and I'm happy.
Gardens, forests, desert wildflowers after a summer rain: I can wander for hours noticing small things, like an orchid I've never seen before or the way light falls through the leaves. Nature is where I slow down and feel most like myself. And if you ask me a question, about the universe, a show you love, or where you'd go if you could go anywhere, you'll meet the real me.
Most of my free time goes to two kinds of exploring. Outside, it's hiking, cycling, and long walks somewhere new. Inside, it's science, technology, and philosophy, the big questions that keep me up a little too late.
What I live by
If we're going to choose each other, you should know what I'm made of.
Nothing matters to me more. I would rather hear a hard truth than a comfortable story, and I will always give you the same. To me, honesty is the deepest form of respect, and the only ground a real love can grow on.
Learning is how we find the truth, so I never stop. I'd love a partner who enjoys wondering out loud with me.
Spiritually, I'm a process panentheist: I see the sacred woven into a universe that is still becoming. Ask me about it. It's one of my favorite conversations.
Believe whatever speaks to your heart. All I ask is the same freedom in return. Two different paths can still walk side by side.
Two whole people, each with their own dreams, choosing each other again and again. Not a rescue, not a project: a team.

The first three places I'd take you
Where I call home
If we're right for each other, this is where we'd build our life together, so I want you to see it. High desert, wide skies, and mountains at the edge of the city, with a culture shaped by centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and Native American heritage.
Blue skies most days of the year, and sunsets that turn the whole mountain range pink.
Trails just minutes from the city. Perfect for early hikes and evening walks.
Spanish is part of daily life here. A place where you can feel at home a little faster.
Every October, hundreds of hot-air balloons fill the sky. I'd love to watch it with you.
The honest bits
Truth matters to me, so here are the things I'd rather say clearly now than awkwardly later.
I'm rooted in Albuquerque, and I'm looking for someone excited to build a new life here with me.I'll do everything I can to help you feel at home.
I want a partner with her own goals who will build her own career here. This one is essential to me.Your independence isn't a threat to us; it's part of what makes us strong.
I'm happiest focusing on us. After about four years together, if we're both sure, I'm open to one child, and perhaps a second some years later. Two would be my limit.Never rushed. Always decided together.
You can believe whatever you choose, as long as I can too. If we have children, we'll each share what we believe, and let them find their own path.
Beyond home
Home is the high desert, but the ocean has its own pull on me: warm water at my feet, salt in the air, and sunsets that seem to go on forever.
I only make it to the coast a couple of times a year, so every trip feels special, and I'd happily go more often with the right company. I mostly explore North America because it keeps things simple. But for the right person, I'll gladly cross an ocean, and I'd love to see your corner of the world through your eyes.
I usually travel alone. I'm hoping that's about to change.
And you?
Someone who'd rather talk about ideas than small talk, who would light up at the thought of a new city to explore, and who wants a partner, not a spectator. If you've read this far, that already says something good about you.
