For fun, I played competitive sports (baseball, softball, football, basketball, tennis) up until a few years ago when my body decided it couldn't take the pounding anymore. I then took up running, even ran a 5K charity race, but injured both knees in the process. So now I hike in the mountains for physical activity and sometimes just for peace of mind. It is so serene in the forest, so beautiful from the top. I get a lot of ideas for my writing while on these hikes.

I also like the beach, campfire stories with friends, cookouts where concoctions (sometimes called experiments) are made from scratch, flavored black coffee, hanging with my children, anything adventurous.

Here's my bucket list

Hike the Appalachian trail-at least a good part of it.
Visit out of the way places in Greece and Spain-I'm a country boy, not a city slicker.
Attend a Sasquatch expedition-I'm fascinated with the science that suggests big guy might actually exist.
Embark on a treasure hunt-there's one hidden in the Rockies that I'm interested in.
Cruise the Caribbean-Pirates ROCK!!!
