I'm retired from civil service. I'm married with 4 dogs. I'm optimistic and enjoy irony. Bit of a cynic. I value honesty and empathy in others and believe in social justice. I live in a small town and enjoy time in nature. I find people and the world fascinating. Always want to learn about and try new things. I have wide interest. Have worked as an Eng. tech and a phone splicer. Spent most career working outside.
