I love to explore and learn new things about people and the world around me. I enjoy the complexities of human nature and being able to laugh at the ironies of life.

I like to challenge myself intellectually and physically. My interests are many. I can hike a dusty tree-lined trail in the day and enjoy the theater and some good wine in the evening. I have been described as independent, adventuresome, affectionate, considerate, spirited, and playful (I can't print the others!).
