Healthcare policy, financial crisis, global warming, war/military occupation, ...not my problems, not your problems, not his problems: OUR problems. Let's change the world... make it better for everyone.
I'm an accountant and an information specialist on the Americans with Disabilities Act. My area of ADA specialization is transportation for individuals with disabilities. I am a cyclist (former marathon runner & triathlete) and use a bicycle as my primary means of transportation. For fun my wife and I ride a tandem and travel with like-minded human-powered vehicle advocates.
