Howdy! After 7 years abroad, the last four in the Balkans, I'm moving to Dallas-Fort Worth to teach high school social studies I'd been a teacher in 15 countries when Covid-19 came to Slovakia. Then I moved from teaching presentation and negotiation skills in person to Slovak Gov't dept heads online, Chinese kids via a friend, and other professionals. Marketing historical-biographical screenplays and songs written by me, I appreciate meeting people connected to the arts, especially film and recording studios. And historians! I like to play tennis and hike back country roads. Originally from West Virginia, USA, where my family has two beautiful farms. When I'm there I welcome guests.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I write historical/biographical screenplays, with characters including Mozart, Beethoven, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Betsy Ross, Ben Franklin, Marquis de Sade, Nixon, Kissinger, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hedy Lamarr, Bessie Smith, and Emmett Kelly.
