One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done was to Adopt 5 siblings from Brazil and watch them grow to become incredible citizens of the World!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be yourself and allow others to be who they are. Agreeing with people and their lifestyle is not a prerequisite for respect and friendship, but allowing for differences and having a willingness to let people make mistakes is a great planting ground for life long relationships. Relax and enjoy the exotic flavors of international friendships.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My wife and I enjoy cooking.
