I've lived in the Vancouver area for almost thirty years and my hobbies include fishing (although my success rate is pretty dismal), bird hunting (once again, rarely successful), blues musician (I currently play in two local bands in the Portland area), being politically active and trying to do good things for my community. My favorite charities are The Dalles Freedom House (www.thedallesfreedomhouse.org), Habitat for Humanity and the local Relay for Life to help raise funds to fight cancer.
