I was born and raised in Manaassas, VA. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BA in Economics and later went on and earned an MBA from George Washington University. I spent 50 years in Virginia before moving to Redondo Beach, CA. I spend half the year hosting in Cody, WY, the other half I host at my beach house in Redondo Beach, CA. I enjoy all sports especially football and college basketball. I am also an avid fly fisherman which is one reason I love this Cabin. The Shoshone River is blue ribbon fly fishing at its best. I discovered my love of hosting through experimentation. There is something amazing about sharing my home with travelers I have never met, learning about their lives, their values and opinions and then wishing them well on their travels, realizing that I may likely never see them again. Hosting truly adds value to my life.
