I'm originally from Boston. I moved here in July of 2002 and haven't seen snow since then.

I've been playing poker since late October of 2017. I enjoy playing against players with lots of experience. It raises my game.

I have a dog shelter in the foothills of the Cordillera Central, the mountain range that is the spine of this, the second largest island in the Caribbean.

My associates and I take care of 100 dogs that were abandoned in the streets. We take care of the sick ones and offer the healthy dogs for adoption.

For the old and chronically infirm our refuge is their hospice.

The dog in my profile picture was abandoned by her owners. She's deaf and blind in one eye. A veterinarian prescribed her a thirty day course of antibiotics that cured her of ehrlichiosis, a tick borne disease that can be fatal if not treated.

She's old but still has some puppy left in her. My home is her hospice.
