CURRENT MISSION

Well...hi there. I sure do enjoy an adventure here and there be it running in a race, swimming in the ocean or traveling far away.

ABOUT ME

Once upon a time there was this fellow who had a craving for adventure whether it was small or large. When the adventure is over, a stable and cozy place to relax and recover. I am reliable person of the sorts and enjoy simplicity. I am positive and calm by nature. I am sincere and can become goofy when in comfortable surroundings. Task oriented with an unending to-do list. I enjoy cheering up others when they are gloomy and giving family and friends support and encouragement with their goals. Maintaining good fitness makes me happy and keeps stress low. I sure do enjoy a game of scrabble, chess, cribbage or backgammon. Run a dusty road, hike a hill, swim a cold river, read a National Geographic.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a big fan of treating others as I'd like to be treated.
