Born during a New Jersey blizzard, I have lived in Colorado since my parents moved the family here when I was a year old. Colorado is in my soul; I can't imagine living anywhere else. Somewhat of a loner and a bit shy, I have always been more comfortable in the company of animals, especially dogs.

Interests:

Gardening, traipsing around the Colorado Rockies, surfing the Internet. Love to travel, mostly around the western U.S. but also have been to England, Scotland, France, Mexico, several trips to Canada, a fine autumn in New England, and a soggy but fun week in and around DC.
