I am a married father of 2 grown children. I enjoy my life as a spouse, father, college professor, and outdoors man. I enjoy travel, gardening, and exercising at the local health club with friends.I relax with yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture, and hypnotherapy. I guess I am a new age progressive person, that likes to keep up with the latest techniques in maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well being.
