About me

I've always believed that the strongest things in life ships, structures, people are built to withstand the storm, not just look good in calm water. As a naval engineer, I spend my days thinking about precision, strength, and things that are built to last. I bring that same philosophy into how I love: steady, intentional, and built on a real foundation.

By night, an investor because I believe rhythm belongs in every part of life, not just music. There's something about keeping time, staying in sync, that mirrors what I want in a relationship: two people moving in step with each other, even when the song changes.

I coach football on my free time, mentoring young players in discipline and teamwork because I believe in pouring into people, not just projects. I've spent over a decade teaching and building, and if there's one thing life has taught me, it's that the best things a well-built ship, a well-played match, a well-loved partner take patience, care, and showing up every single day.

I'm a romantic in the quiet ways: I notice things, I remember the small details, and I believe in showing love through consistency, not just grand gestures. I want someone who feels safe with me safe enough to dream big, safe enough to be soft, safe enough to build something real without fear.

Between blueprints and drumbeats, football fields and quiet evenings, I'm looking for someone to share the whole picture with not just the highlight reel. If you believe in steady love, real conversation, and building something that can weather anything life brings, I'd love to know you.

I'm looking for

I'm at a point in life where I know what I want, and I'm not interested in wasting anyone's time including my own. I'm looking for something real: a serious relationship that's headed toward marriage, with someone who's ready to build a life, not just fill a calendar.

I'm a founder and creative at heart I've spent years building things from scratch, writing, teaching, and chasing ideas most people would call ambitious. That drive isn't going anywhere, but I also know that none of it means much without someone to share it with. I want a partner, not a spectator someone who has her own goals, her own fire, and isn't intimidated by a man who's building several things at once.

What I value most: honesty, loyalty, and emotional maturity. I'm looking for someone who communicates instead of assuming, who can sit with hard conversations instead of running from them, and who shows up consistently not just when it's convenient. Faith, family, and character matter to me, and I want someone who takes those seriously too.

I'm not looking for perfection. I'm looking for partnership someone I can build with, laugh with, argue well with, and grow old with. Someone who wants a home, not just a relationship. Kids, if that's part of your vision too, are something I want to build toward with the right person.

I move with purpose, but I also know how to slow down good music, good conversation, and good food matter to me as much as ambition does. If you're someone who knows her worth, isn't afraid of a man with a plan, and is genuinely ready for something lasting let's talk.

No games. No guessing. Just two people building something worth having.

Favorite books

Singles who like to read lots of books seem clever. You have to ask me if I take time to read.

Favorite movies

The Notebook — Nicholas Sparks — a classic slow-burn love story about commitment lasting through everything.
Americanah — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — a Nigerian love story spanning continents; strong pick if you want something rooted in home.
Purple Hibiscus — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — another Nigerian classic, more family/coming-of-age than pure romance, but widely loved.
Half of a Yellow Sun — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — a love story set against the Biafran war; deeper, more literary.
Me Before You — Jojo Moyes — an emotional, well-known romance if you want something more mainstream/globally recognizable.

Favorite TV shows

Casablanca — the classic: love caught in the middle of war and political upheaval, sacrifice over self-interest.
Doctor Zhivago — a sweeping love story set against the Russian Revolution; poetic and politically charged.
The Kite Runner — less pure romance, more love (family, friendship, homeland) against the backdrop of Afghanistan's political turmoil — powerful if you want something with real weight.
Half of a Yellow Sun (film adaptation) — Nigerian love story set during the Biafran War; ties well with the book if you listed it too.
Vice (or The Post) — if you want something more overtly political with less romance, these show sharp political drama; The Post has a strong undercurrent of partnership and loyalty that reads well too.
