ABOUT ME

Through some fortunate recent circumstances(others might call them devasting: laid off from a job of 5 years and soon to be displaced due to condo conversion), I have decided to pursue my passion for adventure and learning, moving to China to teach English at the "young at heart" age of 50.
I have lived in Key West Florida, Austin Texas, Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, Olympia Washington and for the past six years, I've been in Portland Oregon.
Recently spent 3 months in China, Shanghai and Ningbo. Now on the Oregon Coast.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My ex partner and I built and lived on a sailboat in the Florida Keys. We lived on the boat for a year, sold it and moved to Colombia, SA.
