I am a skier who sweats through the summer. I prefer to swim most evening after work and then settle into a book. I have lived by the ocean, on the prairies and in the mountains. I love writing letters and learning about other cultures.Most people say I am an ambitious optimist with an eye for detail. I have a messy garden in the forest with a trampoline beside it. I talk to my cats everyday and bicycle commute whenever I can.
