I enjoy traveling and meeting new people, so I love being a couch surfer!

I'm a very outgoing person, able to get along with pretty much everyone I meet. I enjoy having discussions on various topics, and respect people's right to have differing viewpoints. I'm grateful for what I have in my life, and I'm excited to start a new chapter in it.

Interests

I enjoy music (listening to, playing guitar, and singing.) I am an aficionado of all things Star Wars, and I cook a mean chicken parmesan. I also enjoy the sport of marksmanship in my free time.

I like learning new things, and enjoy having conversations with real people instead of staring at a phone or tablet screen. Preferably over beer if the hour is right. (But is the hour ever really NOT right?)

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music: Easy, classic hits of the 70's. That includes everything from pop to rock to folk to disco. The Eagles is my favorite band (RIP Glenn Frey), and I absolutely love that era of music. I do enjoy all genres however, and don't discriminate against any particular type. (I'll listen to anything once!) There are a lot of talented artists and catchy tunes out there today, so I'm generally flipping through the radio a lot.

Favorite Movies: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond.

Books: "The Cruel Sea", anything Mark Twain, "Alas, Babylon."
