CURRENT MISSION We learn more about ourselves through learning about others. ABOUT ME I am friendly and open-minded. My wife and I hosted many exchange students since 2000. I enjoy entertaining friends with dinners and cookouts, and love meeting people from other countries and sharing our culture with them. PHILOSOPHY I believe that we have lived too long afraid of each other. If we are going to evolve into a better world, we have to gain more tolerance and understanding. The more interaction we can have with people from other places, the more open we become. This will make each us better, and thus make the world better for future generations.
