I am just a regular guy trying to make my way through all the craziness of life. I am recovering from a serious illness so not 100% yet.

I have a dry sense of humor, am intelligent, goal directed and family oriented. I like playing the guitar and would like to learn some other instruments. I think yoga is one of the better things I have done in life and do it several times a week. I like reading - a lot. Family history is another interest. Doing the resulting names in the temple has been very rewarding. I teach high school to make ends meet.

I served in the Belgium Brussels Mission (it no longer exists) from 1974 -1976. It included northern France and the language we worked in was French. It was a defining period in my life.

I would like to go on a mission with my future spouse when we are finished with the work world. It would be great to have a partner that is into family history, could assist and push me in this area and would be able to go to the temple with me often. I want to be a better teacher - which fits with my goal of building Zion.
