ABOUT ME

I'm an amiable 41yo Quality Engineer & Manufacturing & Business Operations Manager by trade. I love to travel. I love meeting new ppl. I learned about couch surfing while taking a writing class at Harvard. There was a wonderful article in ‘The New Yorker’ that I chose to write my final assignment on. So…of course I had to try it! The author wasn’t a fan, but I fell in love! I met the most wonderful family in Milwaukee and we are all good friends 5 years later!

Work has allowed me to live in some interesting places… Chicago, IL | Milwaukee, WI | Cincinnati, OH | Columbus, OH | Florence, KY. My hometown is Lima, OH.

I’m very clean and I always clean up after myself. I’m non-judgemental. I’m a free spirit and I love everyone!

教，学，和分享

I love to teach and share whatever I learn. I must do that daily for work and in life...but my life is rich because I have an unquenchable thirst for learning about any and everything...especially people and celestial things!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have had a very interesting life! I can share my love affair and experiences with politics, my overseas missionary experiences, general life adventures and my fun, ridiculous sense of humor about most anything. I live. I laugh. I care for. I cook. I love. I talk. I listen. I friend. I'm loyal. I'm fun. I'm crazy :)! I'm generally optimistic. I’m a lightweight but I like a good cocktail.

I will cook for you and bake for you! It would be my pleasure and a great honor to do so. I go all out for a good meal. I love playing cards. I can do whatever…help with a project…I love serving others, so just let me know, I’m down! I’m a great support in most things.
