CURRENT MISSION To be a friendly citizen of the world ABOUT ME I, along with my wife enjoy learning and meeting others. We have been in Hilton Head for over 21 years. When our children were at home we had exchange students from many other countries. Additionally, we have hosted many couch surfers. Our children have now completed college and on their own careers. My mother (86) moved in with us 6 years ago. Unfortunately, this fall, she contracted COVID and has been in a nearby nursing home received rehabilitation therapy. We have 2 small dogs that make friends quickly. I love to travel and usually spend 8 or more weeks a year out of the U.S. I enjoy involvement in medical missions abroad and Emergency Medical Services locally. PHILOSOPHY Live and let live. Better yet, be a facilitator so that others may have a better and healthier life.
