I've had an interesting life with a lot of diversity. After college and my time in the military I settled into a career of mental health counseling for several years, falling into a specialty of addictions. Traveling the world gave me the opportunity to met many people of diverse cultures. Having had many exciting adventures along the way touching almost every continent. I continue to look forward to meeting enlightening people and new experiences to expand my world view. My retirement has allowed me time to travel and learn new things. I look forward exchanging ideas and interacting with younger folks. I am not into sex, drugs and rock and roll, but prefer a good drink and stimulating conversation. I do not climb mountains, challenge the rapids, or engage in dangerous or illegal activities. Religion has always been important to me, as has reading a good book, seeing a good movie or creative day dreaming.
