Interests: I have worked in the corporate Information Technology field for over a dozen years and am very familiar with corporate/technical terminology. I love to read historical fiction and non-fiction. I also enjoy investing and I like to read and discuss financial reporting. I am very curious about the world around me and so I love to travel. I have been to countries in Europe (France, Germany, Finland), Asia (Russia and Ukraine), and Central and South America (Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador). I find language study to be fascinating and I have about a dozen years experience with the Russian language. I am also studying Spanish and keep looking for ways to use it whenever I can. I am interested in sports, especially hockey and American football. Also, I have enjoyed scuba diving and snorkeling.
