About me

I'm semi retired after working 32 years in the workforce development field. I'm interested in sports, current affairs, and life in general. I attend the local Unitarian Universalist congregation in Miami, and work as a substitute teacher when called and have done consulting work in the field of employment and training. I follow the local sports scene, attend University of Miami sports events and Marlin baseball games. I'm an avid reader, watch CNBC too much, and enjoy just about everything on my local NPR station.
