About Me

I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in the island nation of Vanuatu in the Southwest Pacific. I taught English for four years at two different schools. Now I work with the European Union to improve water and sanitation in rural areas. Oh, I also have to go around the country and look at possible and finished projects for communities.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Andrew Jackson, Teddy Rosevelt, Queen Victoria, Winston Churchil, FDR, and all those interesting people that you learned about in history class, and Bob Barker. I would also like to meet the person who will give me a job when I come back to the states next year.

Reproduction questions for the modern times.

I am a chicken hater, and proud of it.

Do you remember in school when you talked about farm animals and you got to the roosters?  What do the roosters do?  They wake the farmer up.  That is the rooster's job.  I remembe...
