A little about me... I love animals, the

excitement of the city, the quiet of the

mountians, the soothing sounds of the ocean,

the taste of red wine while cooking a mystery

meal, the magic of fire, & dancing it makes

my souls sing, oh and Starbucks.

Born and raised here in Washington I have 5

brothers ( zero sisters).  I have a 87

year old grandfather who owns a turkey farm

in MA (yes he goes to work everyday), I also

have a 87 year old grandmother who still

lives on her own.  I spent my summers

growing up with my mom's side of the family

in MA. My middle name is after

my Grandmother Maxine she passed away

when I was very young.  The one thing that I

remember she always gave me gummy

worms. 

Work Hard Play Hard :-P

I like puzzles and tinkering with things to make them useful again.  Being outside and doing things like hunting/fishing is just as important to me as being able to hang out inside, such as reading or watching PBS. Travel is also something I enjoy.  It is always a pleasure to meet new people in foreign places and experience new things.  If I could swing it, I'd always be on vacation somewhere and periodically stopping to learn something new at a university, for a quarter or two, before heading off again.  

Born and raised on the Olympic Penninsula.  I have one brother in Tacoma, Dad in Montana, and Mom in Tennessee.  I've lived the last 25 years or so in the greater Seattle Metropolitan Area.

If you hear the laugh, it's already too late.  BWAHAHAHA!!!
