I grew up in Minnesota, spent the better part of 20 years in Madison, WI and a few years in Chicago before moving out to Seattle. I love it here and likely will always make this my home base. I want to get every drop out of life. I want to embrace, experience, create this amazing thing that is our canvas. I love philosophical, intellectual or simply really interesting conversations, and am curious about just about everything. I've been in business my entire professional career and have a software business that I'm hoping to sell. I'm in the process of writing a book through Forbes Books, which has been interesting. I come from a large family and am very close to them. I am used to having roommates. I have some interesting health issues. The good news is that things are stable.

Not sure what to put here. I love to stretch my thinking. I think anything is possible. Love the book, Thinking Fast and Slow. Think outside the box
What I Can Share With Hosts
Great location, great view, lovely old house. A bed, sheets, towels, basic toiletries. An overview of Seattle, things to do, how to get around. Interesting stories. Some food, wine, beer. On the bus line so easy to get around
