I live in San Francisco, California where I’ve been for the better part of 40 years. I was born in Arizona but I hardly remember much of that because we moved to California when I was only 6 years old. I have a BS in engineering but my job for the past 20 years has been with computer software – I’m a programmer. I enjoy the work because it can be interesting and challenging. It is a bit sedentary though, which is why I like to get out and do things in the physical world; hike, bike, boating, and I jog on a regular basis. I’m still single after all these years and I don’t have any children. I have a brother and two sisters. I have one surviving parent, my mother who now is retired and living the good life in San Miguel Allende, Mexico. Regarding Habitat for Humanity, I think it’s a very good cause but I’ve only volunteered once so far. That was in Oakland, California. I enjoyed that experience and I’m looking forward to the experience I will have in Argentina.
