I prefer to share personal details with you in person, but I will tell you that I have traveled in over 20 countries and lived abroad in 3 developing countries.  The many cultures and lifestyles I have been fortunate to experience and live in have given me a global  perspective with a zest for life. I love the sun, the water, and music when relaxing. I work hard so that I can play.

DRINKS Coffee; (Starbucks Sugar-free Vanilla Latte is my favorite), Bottled Water, Diet Coke, Juice

ALCOHOLIC DRINKS I rarely drink, and when I do, it's socially in the evening. I'm easy going and drink good beer, white zinfandel and merlot. One of my favorite brands of merlot is Menage Trois.
