I am an advocate for change that improves the quality of life for individuals in the community and am a member of several organizations that have taken positive action in ways to achieve this end. I think it is important to engage people in conversation/dialogue and not preach to others. I am a strong advocate for leading by example. I enjoy being with my son, his wife and two granddaughters as often as possible even though they live on the East coast. I enjoy as many outdoor activities as I can muster depending on the time of year. I pay attention to learning as much as possible about a wide variety of topics. I have a science background but think of myself as being able to converse in a wide range of subjects.

I would always let the woman offer suggestions because I am very flexible. Maybe a nearby coffee shop with snacks if they are available. Meeting at a location that is comfortable is important.
