ABOUT ME

I love meeting different people and learning more about their interests, jobs, travels, hobbies, and music. I am fascinated by different cultures and ways of doing things.

I love animals, and recently lost my volunteer therapy dog. We visited children's reading programs, Alzheimer's units, MIT and Harvard (very smart dog!)

I have a home recording studio. I worked with doctors at Dana Farber and Children's Boston to produce the first commercial relaxation/healing recording for kids and adults in English and Portuguese (Brazilian). I also created a stress-reduction album for driving, which I am currently posting to AiryMelody.com.

I sold my stuff online (Amazon, iTunes and so on) but got fed up with Amazon and decided to give it away as free downloads at AIryMelody.com and VaiDormir.com. I continue to create tools (recordings and videos) for addiction counselors and autistic friends or anyone else who asks.

I like to laugh and tend to think a lot of things are funny. However, I don't think it is funny to laugh at other people.

I like to talk, listen, sing, dance, play games, and write music. I enjoy most water sports. I like to go to new places and try new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a 2½ -year old boy out to throw rocks into a creek. When the rock splashed, he jumped up and down and yelled, "Hooray!" That was his first word!
