I am a game warden who practices yoga and qi gong. I am also a musician and I write a lot of songs. I love other cultures and learning from people. In my free time, I mostly travel with my family, learn Spanish and try to improve my spiritual progress. I tend to see humor in the darkest things and laugh during the most stressful moments.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep insight into to subjects seldom open to "outsiders". This insight is born of experience in worlds with little to zero margin for error. I have lived around a good portion of the world and have worn many hats and have been through some...ahhhh...very interesting times.

Also, I am a superb guardian. When I am around, it is like having a vigilant watchdog protecting you and what is yours.
