I am a calm, positive, & friendly person with a good sense of humor. I enjoy spending time with my partner & friends having conversations & laughing over a beer or other drink. In my spare time I love to read, both fiction & non-fiction, as well as stream shows on tv (especially documentaries). I have a love of learning new things and travel as often as possible both to relax and also to learn about new cultures and meet people who have different perspectives & experiences than I do. I recently retired from the field of education but now do some part-time contract work to stay busy.
