About Me

I'm now living in Bogota, Colombia, with my wife, and teaching 4th grade. It's an interesting experience. Still playing tuba, guitar, and congas on the weekend. Still trying to expand the repertoire of the tuba beyond the mundane "OOMPA OOMPA" we're all used to hearing. Found a couple people to play music with here. I'm missing playing music at the good 'ol farmer's market of Fayetteville--my home. Missing friends and family, but will see them all soon enough. Time flies in this life. I try to take advantage of all the little opportunities that come my way. And if I learn something in the process, then...alright. I'm waiting until I can buy a boat and sail it around the world. Or, just take a cruise. After that, plan to buy a Harley with my best friend and take it cross-country. Or, a used Honda Shadow might suffice. In the meantime, think I'll just "BE." And kill a lot of time reading.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

cool, laid-back, interesting lovers of life from anywhere and everywhere and all places in between
