I am a Science teacher and tennis coach at Clyde High School. My family has been involved in hosting and supporting exchange students through YFU since 2008.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife and I enjoy meeting and talking with people from many different cultures. We greatly enjoy traveling the world and getting to know local people through our travels.

Interests

I have been involved in playing and coaching tennis for over 40 years. I have personally visited 2 of the 4 Grand Slam events and hope to see the remaining 2 events in the next 10 years. I have been a science teacher for 28 years, teaching Anatomy, Biology and Physics. My family has hosted 6 exchange students from Germany (3), Japan (2), and Thailand (1).

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all types of music. I prefer movies that are comedies, but I enjoy reading books that are suspenseful, especially John Grisham.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run 13 marathons, including the Boston Marathon 3 times.
