NOTE: I generally prefer male guests with a complete profile and at least two references. Just a preference! Also, I will need at least a day's notice, no same day request please.

CURRENT MISSION

To live life and enjoy every moment.

ABOUT ME

I sort of stand out with my unmistakable blonde hair and towering height. I'm profoundly Deaf -- but I don't let that get in the way of living a full exciting life! I rely on speaking and lip-reading as well as ASL to communicate.

I teach American Sign Language at the University of Arizona. I love every aspect of what I do.

I enjoy cooking, traveling, wine/beer/food, spending time with my dogs, working out, hiking, yoga, learning new languages, hanging out with friends and reading.

In your request, please state whether you like dogs or not - so I know you read my profile (as I get numerous requests) and to know if you're a right fit as a guest. :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spending almost a year in the same town where my grandfather's family came from in Southern Italy. I lived in a flat around the corner from where my great-grandparents lived. It was the most enriching experience of my life.
