Looking for real connection, not perfection.

I grew up with strong family values and a deep appreciation for culture, good food, and meaningful connections. Cooking is one of my biggest passions. I’ve been cooking for myself since I was a teenager, and over the years it’s become something I truly love. I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and having friends over to share good food, long conversations, and laughter around the table. Professionally, I’m a structural engineer and serve as a technical director. I enjoy what I do, but I firmly believe life should be about more than work. Outside of my career, being a dad is my most important role, and I’m proud of the balance I’ve built between responsibility and enjoying life. I don’t currently have a pet, but I truly love dogs, and being around them instantly puts me in a good mood. On weekends, you’ll usually find me spending time with my son, trying a new restaurant, cooking something a bit ambitious at home, getting outside, or unwinding with a good movie or series. I appreciate humor, warmth, and genuine conversation. Friends would describe me as thoughtful, loyal, grounded, and quietly funny once you get to know me. I value honesty, kindness, emotional maturity, and laughter. I’m looking for a long-term relationship and believe the best connections are built gradually and naturally. What matters most to me is finding someone genuine, emotionally aware, and kind, someone who values communication, connection, and building something real together.
