About Me

Apparently I'm not an acceptable guest? That's okay, it just means that the doors of my home are not open to guests either.

I'm a 58-year-old father of three grown children who loves cooking and lively conversations. Lately, I've been getting back into some of my old passions—photography, acting, and sound recording—while also exploring creative writing and painting. I'm also an amateur radio operator; my call sign is OH9BOC. Perhaps my dearest hobby of all is singing. I have also rally car vw golf v1600.

Although I might be a big guy and not exactly model material, I like to think I'm kind, well-behaved, and easy to get along with. I love good food, a cold beer, and a fine whiskey. Meeting new people and learning about different cultures truly inspires me.
