Hello, let me introduce myself.

Self Portrait

–In Words

---

By nature, I’m gregarious and thrive on connections and conversations with others. While gainfully employed, I enjoyed connecting and conversing with colleagues, clients, or anyone I encountered in my day-to-day. Now that I’m retired, and navigating life with a bit more ‘swagger’ thanks to a stroke and Parkinson’s, I’m finding new ways to connect. My mind is still sharp, and my voice is strong, though my balance needs a crutch. I’m turning to the internet to connect with the world, all eight billion of you. I realize I’m being presumptuous, as barriers such as language, personal interests, and religion will always exist.

Beyond being gregarious, I’m a natural storyteller with many interests that I can’t wait to share. My passions include numismatics; I’m fascinated by and collect coins from every corner of the globe, and I enjoy watching movies and reading as well. I’m eager to share my stories and passions with you. Let’s chat, laugh, and maybe even ‘dance’ virtually. Please, no singing requests – the only note I can hold is currency. From my home in sunny South Africa to wherever you are, I’m excited to embark on this new journey with you.
