About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire others to make a difference in the life of someone else...one person at a time.

ABOUT ME

After 30 years of working in Aerospace I am now retired. I enjoy traveling and learning more about other cultures, people, and food native to the country I am visiting.I live on a yacht and have for 30 years. My lifestyle is somewhat different for someone that lives in Los Angeles. I love the outdoors and sunshine.
I completed my Masters of Science in Organization Development at Pepperdine University. I graduated the Masters program in August 2009.I went back to school very late in life after my children have grown. I finished high school at age 50 and my Bachelors of Science in Technical Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University at age 54.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do today what others won't so you can have tomorrow what others don't."

I love the water and lived on a boat for 30 years.

I live life with purpose. That is to inspire others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an amazing time surfing in Thailand and the Philippines. The people I surfed with were very gracious and caring. They made sure my travels were safe and successful. I am very grateful for the experience and the ability to live in the culture.

I have hosted and look forward to many more new experiences.

Interests
