About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Liberal, very physical but physically restricted now, political, outgoing, intellectual. I am a married retired lawyer. I work out in the gym 3-4 days a week but my walking mobility is somewhat limited. I have a Facebook page that is quite revealing where you can learn a lot about me. My wife, Trudy & I want to spend a substantial amount of time in Hawaii each year 3-5 months preferably on Big Island but we are flexible on which Island. We want to find a apartment or room in an ohana type of situation and would pay something less than hotel rates. We hope to do this each year for as long as our health allows.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm philosophically and religiously syncretic. We need to be more than individualist if we are to effectively solve civilizations challenges. Kindness can resolve all conflicts.
