I'm an outgoing person who treasures my alone time, although I'm lucky to have lots of friends and family. I have been a cyclist, including competitive racing, for many years, and I'm an occasional runner. Since I was little boy I've been a prolific reader; both fiction and non-fiction. Learning history, science, comparative religions, learning about other cultures, etc are also important. I also love to dance. I am very liberal. I have two adult kids with my first grandchild on the way. I also am a fiction writer. And finally, I pay my bills and for my hobbies by working in sales.
