自我介绍

I'm a social entrepreneur with a consulting and software company that helps communities address complex issues like chronic disease, foster care system transformation, and reducing infant mortality. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Gustavus Adolphus College and have been married for 29 years. My daughter is a teacher, and my son is in college. We're very involved with our Christian church, and I am an Eagle Scout. My wife, Angela, is also a teacher, focusing on early childhood music and movement. I lived in Japan for a year while in college (1985-86) and love travel and adventure. As often as possible, I like to bring my wife with me when I take business trips so we can enjoy a weekend of romance and adventure. AirBnB is perfect for finding great places. We like to find hot springs and waterfalls. We enjoy biking, hiking and nature. While we're social and love talking with hosts (and we periodically use our home to host people who come from out of town for church-related events), we also enjoy privacy for our time together. As a social entrepreneur that is pioneering new techniques and technology to help address complex social problems, I need to do a lot of unpaid education and pre-sales work, so budgets are always tight. While I usually consider WiFi important, when I choose AirBnB places, it is often with my wife, and WIFI is not as important on non-business trips.
