I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

- Volunteering in my community, in hopes attaining progress in the lives of others, and learning something during the process. - I believe that children and their families are the future, so I've set my mind on working with educating people and their family system. - I like to write poetry - I ride my motorcycle, and I consider the experience very liberating. - When I have time I like to: play soccer, or to go hiking. - I appreciate the calming nature of Tai Chi, and Yoga as they are cool things to do. - I enjoy sharing stories with people who believe that there's substance in what they do. If you share any of these interest, or care to share something new, then you know how to reach me.
