My objective is to positively promote nudism/naturism and educate others about the nudist lifestyle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been a nudist for over 30 years and active in ASA/AANR at the national and regional levels since 1987. I am also a member of The Naturist Society and the National Nudist Council of the Americas.
I have a Bachelors Degree in English and Biology as well as an Associates Degree in Medical Technology.
I have worked primarily as an office manager for most of my working career and managed two businesses in which I was an owner.
