One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Highest bungee jump in the world in South Africa was pretty intense.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a certified English teacher and love helping people who are studying the language. Also spent a long time learning Spanish, and could help out with that language as well.

I could have you playing songs on the ukulele in 10 minutes, and always up to play music with others. Cooking is a passion of mine, especially typical new England desserts like pies and cobblers. And I love dogs! If you have one (or more), happy to help out with walking, etc.
