ABOUT ME

I have worn a lot of hats in my life... I have been a Mormon, a father, a Boy Scout leader, and now a free thinking, adventurous atheist. I enjoy figuring out the public transportation system of new towns and finding Ma and Pa cafes. Hearing a cover band sitting on a Skoolie in the Arizona desert is my perfect night.

I enjoy swapping stories with people that have walked different paths. Preparing and sharing a meal with new friends brings me joy. I am a retired military officer and Southwest Airlines pilot. I am friendly and tolerant.

One favorite memory is learning to fire the 30 MM cannon of the A-10, I was so excited I forgot to release the trigger during my safe escape maneuver and sprayed rounds all over the Arizona desert. My bad...
