I am a white male, born in the late 1960's. Until June of 2017 I owned and managed an apartment building and BnB in Baltimore, MD. (So when traveling myself, I know how important it is to respect someone else's home) . I am also otherwise quiet and respectful and so are the other tenants in my building.)

I am now support staff at Wildwood Retreat Center in Guerneville, CA.

I am a competitive adult figure skater and have competed all over North America and Europe. I also teach basic skating skills. I am also a masseuse and started taking yoga in 2015. In a former life (through 2006 when started competing in figure skating), I was also a semi-professional singer and performed with several different symphony choruses and symphonies in the Northeast of the USA. So I love experiencing just about any form of performing arts and exploring visual arts and sculpture as well.

Prior to 2006, for 5 years, I also worked for the Bloomberg School of Public Health - Johns Hopkins University and I am very proud of my efforts internationally to streamline the electronic application process among non-profit organizations and public charities that sponsor research and the impact the said research continues to have in all fields on a global scale.

I love traveling, meeting new people and and experiencing their culture, especially historic places, architecture, the arts and food .
