Live primarily in Chicago but spend some time in the cold months in SW Florida. Worked in the food industry for 32 years between Kraft Foods and Nestle and chose severance package vs relocate to Cleveland area from Chicago. Spend my time doing volunteer work for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago working with disabled folks in their fitness center. Recently spent 4 months in Ecuador and Peru studying intensive Spanish and traveling both countries. Passions include travel, triathalon training, sailing(getting skipper certification this summer) and general fitness. I am a very young 60 year old with a zest for curiosity, life and fun.
