I have some strange thoughts that I can’t help but share with you. They make me think, and I hope they make you think too.

Here are some of my qualifications to say I’m a little weird.

  1. Life is unpredictable and ever-changing. We don’t know what will happen next, and that’s a good thing.
  2. Playing soccer in the 70s was a fun and exciting experience for me. The games were always competitive and there was always a sense of community among the players. We all supported each other, regardless of our hometowns or affiliations.
  3. I joined a college which had never fielded a soccer team before. The experience was unique and I enjoyed it immensely. The team spirit was strong and the players worked hard together. We made some great progress and I’m grateful to have been a part of it. During the SR year in college, our team was undefeated and ranked #1 in the nation going into for the national tournament.              

  4. I wore a unique hat to every game of my SR soccer season. I was my lucky charm. It didn’t fit with the uniform. SoccerHatCrop
  5. Before I was 16, I learned how to SCUBA dive. It’s one of my favorite activities, and it’s something that I really enjoy doing. It’s a great way to explore new areas and see some amazing sights.
  6. As a missionary in Nairobi from 1985-1987, my experiences were both enriching and challenging. The people of Kenya were warm and welcoming, but there was also a great deal of poverty and despair.FirstWeekInKenya
  7. Playing soccer in Nairobi was a unique experience for me. I wasn’t the only one who found this out; everyone I played with had never seen an American player before. I was the only American in all the leagues in Nairobi.KenyaSoccerTeamUpdateAdobeFilterApplied
  8. Teaching computer classes for six and a half years was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The students in my classes were varied, intelligent, and always willing to learn. They made me better as a teacher and person.
  9. Skydiving is one of my favorite things to do. It’s exhilarating and peaceful all at the same time. When it comes to skydiving, Miami is definitely the place to be. I earned a skydiving license.
