As a long-time blood donor and someone who proudly has the red heart on my driver license to donate organs when I die, I thought this was another way to help those in need. Brown hair, hazel eyes. I have an athletic build and have a long history as a competitive mid-distance runner, holding my high school records to two distances. I earned bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. I like hiking, gardening, moving turtles off the road, cooking (sometimes good), a bit of carpentry (I hate sanding and painting), reading, teaching, and learning new things everyday. If there is anything else you want to know about me, just let me know.
