I grew up in Tennessee but have lived in New York City for the last 20 years and spend a ton of time in Western Massachusetts. I'm 49, keep active in body and mind. I ride my bike everywhere from my place in Chelsea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a program called Media Arts at a small private high school that was having financial trouble. The kids loved it and got to make short films and the high school is now successful, perhaps somewhat because of the program I started. It was a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at computer stuff, apple related particularly. I can teach a few guitar chords and i like to cook, like animals, will take your dog for a walk.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, doing the dishes, taking the dog(s) for a walk, sharing a drink and having a good conversation about whatever.
