Now that I can refer to you as a friend,its only proper that I let you know about my background, I am Michael Tom Pinell, [ Father - Danish, Mother - American] born to the family of Mr Brian and Mrs. Christine Pinell, I am the only child of my parent, I lost my Dad when I was about three, and was raised by my grandparent who took care of me and got me one of my most prized possessions:my degree. I lost my lovely wife (God rest her soul) five years ago, She left behind our lovely son named David,he will be 15 soon, he is currently living and studying in Denmark, I talk to him almost every day and do my best to be there always for him, he means a lot to me, I hold a degree in civil engineering and a masters in petroleum engineering.

I never really got to know my family except my grandparents, who is everything to me, I am an humble, caring, loving , easy going man who loves life and want to enjoy it with the woman of my dreams, I want a serious I never really got to know my family except my grandparents, who is everything to me, I am an humble, caring, loving , easy going man who loves life and want to enjoy it with the woman of my dreams, I want a serious relationship and looking for a friend, my everything, and my future partner who will compliment me, nobody knows where my future partner lies. Though Relationships are very fake this days, making true love hard to come by, I believe People grow and change with time. people have their own minds, dreams and goals. To have a solid relationship the two people must commit to it.

I am an Engineer (Self Employed), I work for oil firms as a drilling consultant and as a contract staff ,I travel a lot because of my job, I am presently in Reading, UK, I have been here for 5 months now and I would be returning to the States, as soon as my contract is finished in about 4 weeks time, being a shy person am hoping we get to know each other better so we don't have to meet as strangers when I arrive.

Regarding the problem I am having with eHarmony over my subscription and the account compromise, I have ordered eHarmony to notify all my matches with the position of things with my profile. Do not be surprised if eHarmony sends you an email about account compromise, just understand that they are only carrying out my instruction
Hope to read soonest from you should you want to maintain a conversation with me.
ROSES.
Michael Tom Pinell.
