ABOUT ME

I love the idea of exchange in the share economy and have much to contribute; with a wide-range of knowledge and experience, and a zest for life.

Much of my home is shared through the Airbnb network, but the couches, kitchen, bath, inside and outdoor common areas are open for surfing on occasion. The house was built in 1911 and has character and classic beauty.

I'm interested in discovering kindred spirits and encountering alternative viewpoints. Rich, diverse discussions appeal to me, and no topic is taboo. I'm open-minded and have an insatiable curiosity. I am delighted to help you improve your English!

I was born in the midwest, but grew up various places, and started making films in 1998 following several wonderful years performing in regional professional theatre.

PHILOSOPHY

"In this way and that I tried to save the old pail
Since the bamboo strip was weakening and about
to break
Until at last the bottom fell out.
No more water in the pail!
No more moon in the water!"
