I am a classical flutist by training and used to perform in orchestras and teach at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, CA. Life took me in another direction several years ago and I started a new career in Real Estate and Construction back in my hometown of Ashland Oregon. I am nearly finished raising three great kids ages 23, 18, and 15 and looking forward to new adventures! I love the outdoors, warm water, surfing, skiing, hiking, dancing, concerts, good books and movies, long talks with good friends about important things, and teaching and performing music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find myself able to travel more and I enjoy experiencing places authentically by staying with locals. My hometown of Ashland Oregon is a fantastic place to visit!
