I’ve lived in 5 countries and 5 states (visited 15 countries and over 40 US states) and have a deep appreciation for local customs, diverse cultures, and a love for foreign languages. I love sports and spend most of my nights and weekends watching my kids play all over North America. I have two vivacious teenagers that keep us laughing and on our toes, and two big dogs that are happiest when we are all together.
