I am retired from IBM ater a 30 yr career in variety of jobs; Madi and I are in Real Estate with Coldwell Banker in Sarasota. I got my license in 1999. We had a great yr last yr and received International President’s Circle Recognition for our efforts.

Madi and I are both duplicate bridge players – Madi is almost a diamond life master with 4800 Master Pts. I am not as active. I am a silver life master with 1850 pts. We are very active in Sarasota cultural activities. I usher at the Van Wezel for about 40 performing arts events a year. I play golf occasionally. We love to travel recently having explored NC south of the Smoky Mtns Natl Park – spectacular country – we were looking for a summer place in the mountains.

I love to sing and am learning to play the piano – 3 yrs of effort. I have a small group of people that like to sing a variety of music styles from folk to old standards.
