Born in Canada, I studied English and philosophy in the US (B.A. Elon College, graduate studies Wake Forest University) before moving to Germany in 1990. I now live in Brandenburg on the outskirts of Berlin.
I’m a big fan of the European Union, despite all its problems. I feel privileged to reside in such a peaceful, prosperous and culturally vibrant community.
I love the arts and have dabbled in theater and dance. My musical tastes are eclectic, but I’m partial to jazz. I like hanging out in museums, hiking hilly/wooded landscapes and exploring lakes with my canoe.
