ABOUT ME

I’m a life long learner and love to explore new people, places, and things. A good listener who enjoys hearing about other peoples journeys (both physically and emotionally) I prefer not to follow the crowd but rather seek the unique.

PHILOSOPHY

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many... to name a few... I think the most scenic moments (that have inspired awe) occurred while piloting my own airplane. Flying into the Bahamas and island hopping, taking off in complete fog only to emerge above the clouds with tops of the Appalachian Smokey’s poking above the fog, or flying and landing among the snow capped Rocky Mountains near Breckenridge. Another unforgettable day involved hiking the 5 villages of Cinque Terra in Italy.
