I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a retired middle school teacher from Oregon now working in Taiwan. I have three kids who are all on myspace--Kurt was even an employee. I grew up in Oregon, graduated from the University of Oregon, lived in Europe for awhile, settled in Eugene, Oregon, and built and house and raised a family. I love to sail, especially in Canada, on my 23' Islander sailboat. Now my wife and I live in Taiwan and teach at an international school in Taichung. We are enjoying seeing Southeast Asia. This past year my daughter, Heidi, and her boyfriend are working in our school and we were able to travel together. We are grandparents of Evie Rose, a granddaughter who is one year old, and at the end of this school year in Taiwan we will return to Oregon.
