Bio
I’m a self-employed (but retired) Architect, with a type A personality, workaholic, productive. I live with Margo, my wife, as well as two housemates.
My personal journey . . . Back in 1999, Margo and I were invited to participate in an elder initiative using Cohousing as a model. After a soul-searching retreat with Margo, we decided to dive in. The national Cohousing Conference was in Amherst, home of my alma mater – I was hooked, and stayed for the professional day following the inspirational communities conference.
I’ve been involved with this community project since a group of us purchased property in Kimberton in 2016. After years of work, I hope to build before I’m too old to enjoy it!
My hobbies include playing oboe & recorder, scrabble, tennis, hiking, and yoga, along with spiritual studies.
