Summary

Hi, I am an energetic, fully functional 58 year old. My entire career has focused on interviewing/listening to internal customers as we built technical solutions. Upon retiring, my friends and co-workers encouraged me to seek out a tour-guide position. This makes sense to me in that it (would seem) to leverage my careful listening skills, my procedure following experience, and my STRONG desire to engage with all people, in all scenarios.

Interests

Personal Health: The outside observer might look at me as a walking health conflict That is, I am a student of my health and I research diet ideas to maintain my health The conflict comes from the unfortunate fact that I still will eat almost anything New flavors/techniques are exciting to me Talking to people about how they make food is intriguing to me Note: While i haven't eaten a Twinkie in a long time, I would probably accept a small bite of one, just to remember the texture and flavor (then regret it later)


Physical Health: I exercise about 30 minutes a day, mostly because i like to eat!


Home improvement projects (esp related to heating/ventilating)


Travel, esp to France: I have a daughter who has skills at tweeking recipes I LOVE to share dinner with her during my annual visits to see her in Paris


Hobbies have included: Kite surfing, skiing, volleyball and designing new products (for eventual small-business interests)


Note: if i don't find a tour opportunity that is a match for me, i will definitely try my hand at a part time sales job I THINK? I would be good at that
