I am a thirty year old man living in upstate New York, USA. I am single, I own a house, I am a publc school music teacher of grades K-12, a private piano teacher, a classical pianist, and amateur song writer/pop music performer.

LIKES: I enjoy learning new things, listening to music of most types (my favorite rock band is Genesis, and my favorite classical composer is Chopin), reading books, learning new piano music, travelling, watching movies, working out, and being with friends and family, to name just a few things :)

DISLIKES: I dislike coconut in any form, extreme heat, close-mindedness, extreme metal music, country music, and rap music, and probably some other things but I cannot think of them right now! :(

As I said, I love travelling and am particularly fascinated by languages. I took five years of Spanish during my grade school days and I remember the basics, but have never had a good opportunity to put it to use. I also speak and understand a little German. I would love to have a few penpals that are looking to help an english speaker become a little more fluent in Spanish and German, and who may, in exchange, wish to sharpen their English skills. Friendships are also welcome! I love meeting new people from around the world.
