Additional Information
I am also very gifted at playing piano and giving lessons. Some of my former students are now music teachers, pastors and involved in their own church.
My wife and I work well together in cleaning and organization. I love to organize cupboards and I am always cleaning my garage and car. We do have quite a bit of flower beds on our property so we are always taking care of the appearance of our landscaping with trimming and mowing.
My wife used to clean houses for people and know what it takes to keep things clean and orderly and
looking good. We are all about presentation and things looking good!
