guitar, traveling, sports, music, DYI Projects, hiking

My hobbies make my world go around. I have played guitar since college, played in few bands stopped for awhile and began playing again after some serious surgeries. I did not travel for 10 ten years after my divorce, but upon starting a new life again, 2 years ago with my girlfriend, I have been to CA, Massachusets, Mexico, Costa Rica, Greece and many other parts of AZ. I love music, listening and playing from jazz, classical, but blues and rock are my favorites. My girlfriend was Iron Man and triathlon junkie, so I have taken up hiking Arizona, this state if stunningly beautiful all times of the year! I have of experience doing construction. First, was to pay for college, where i worked with a custom home builder and his 4 sons in Santa Barbara, CA. I learned all trades of construction at that time and it has carried through my life in the homes that I have owned. DYI Projects give me great satisfaction and pride, and I do not have call someone that often for help:)
