I am here for Friends

About Me

I have interests in a wide variety of things. I've worked with Computers since they were big as a bus, way before PC's, and 20 years before the internet. I'm no techno geek - just play one at work. I like to have a little balance, so I break away to enjoy music, art & nature. I like learning new things, blurt out answers to Jeopardy questions, sing along with the radio, hike, bike or swim in the woods, mountains, beach or swamp. And share those times with family and friends. I can still swim a mile and run a 5K (not on the same day please). I love to travel and anything outdoors, from gardening to fishing, hiking & biking, swimming & canoeing, camping & cooking (in the kitchen, on the grill, or over the campfire.

I have three incredible sons, and have been with them for everything from diaper changing, school conferences, campouts, ball practice & games, to traffic court. I've been an active Boy Scout leader with my boys for almost 18 years. I'm no Boy Scout myself, but I am a loyal friend. I am just too much of a free spirit to not break a few rules now & then. I like to step out and have a good time, just don't party 'till dawn any more...

I still enjoy my career, but success is a simple life well lived... So my perfect day would be: enjoy the sunrise, fish a little, watch the waves break, play with my children, watch the river flow, read a good book, feel the wind blow through the trees, take a nap & a stroll with a beautiful woman, listen to good music, watch the birds fly, eat good food, enjoy a sunset, drink good wine, stare at the stars, play my guitar with my friends, sit by the campfire or candle glow, love and be loved... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
