scamp

I love music and love playing guitar and singing and writing and performing. I play originals as well as cover my favorites which include Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Wilco, Ryan Adams, and other Alt. Country, Outlaw Country, Folk, and Rock. I started playing chess at age 6, playing with both my dad and an uncle. I have played a lot in college and grad school. I usually win my games, but I am not too sure if my competition was ever very good. I have been a high school and college head baseball and high school JV basketball coach, high school teacher, elementary teacher, school councelor, and served on a school board. Most of my jobs have consisted of working with young people whether elementary, youth teens, or college age. In early 2011, I went to Ukraine to work with orphans. I have lived and coached in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and New York. I have traveled most of the USA, Mexico, Canada, Israel, Jordan, Ukraine, Cuba and been in Poland, Russia, Spain, France, The Bahamas, Turkey and Switzerland and hope to keep traveling the world! My favorite place to live is Crimea, but that was also before Russia took over. I live now in Citrus County, FL. I love our house and love the area. I married a Ukrainian that I met when I lived there and we now have a 5 year old son. Life is good!
