I love music and play 4 instruments. I like walking in the redwoods. The air is so sweet. I'm a political junkie who thinks we need a woman in the White House. 'nuff said. I like to talk to people with a brain: people who wonder about why and how, people who have a well thought out opinion, even if we don't agree, people who strive for goals. I watch a lot of old movies. I have a wonderful wife and an incredible daughter.
