In His Own Words
About him
Hello — I’m glad you stopped by.
Music has been the constant in my life. I’ve conducted choirs, written and arranged music, and still do some of that today. It matters to me — but so do good conversation, laughter, and those moments when time quietly disappears.
I’ve lived in Sicily, Shetland, Sweden, Norway, and the UK, spending 33 years in Norway. I now live just south of Glasgow, in a comfortable, welcoming home that suits me well — though I’m open to what comes next.
I’m thoughtful but easygoing, emotionally grounded, and curious about people. I enjoy concerts and galleries, long walks, cooking for someone I like, and coffee taken seriously. I value kindness, humour, and depth — without taking myself too seriously.
I’m not looking to rush anything or tick boxes. I’m interested in meeting someone where conversation flows easily, silence feels natural, and there’s a sense that something could grow, in its own time.
My photos are recent — and yes, I really do look like them.
About his ideal match
I’m drawn to women who are emotionally warm, thoughtful, and comfortable in themselves — someone curious, kind, and quietly confident.
A love of music or the arts is a bonus, but what matters more is connection: the feeling that conversation has its own rhythm, that being together feels easy, and that we’re genuinely interested in each other.
I believe attraction matters — not fireworks on demand, but that calm, unmistakable sense of this is worth exploring. If it’s there, we’ll both notice.
