CURRENT MISSION

Connect with people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I love people. LOVE them! I enjoy their stories. Catching on to their quirks. Stealing glimpses into what makes them tick. I enjoy sharing meals, strong cups of coffee, a great beer, or wine and much laughter. Most good things on earth are best shared with others I have decided.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a lover not a fighter.
