About the roomies
Current Housemate: Iām a very easy-going, male in my early-40s that likes outdoor activities (mountain biking, backpacking, hiking, skiing) and lives an active lifestyle. I work in sustainable energy and care deeply about environmental and social issues. I like to cook and occasionally have guests over for dinner. I have a six-year old, friendly black Labrador retriever that loves swimming and off-leash hikes.
