You wouldn't know it from talking to me (I have no accent), but I was born in Brisbane, Australia. I have lived in or traveled through various countries including the Fiji Islands, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, India, and Bangladesh.
Before settling in Chattanooga, TN., I also lived for various periods of time in Hawaii, California, Texas, Oklahoma. One of my outdoor leisure activities is mountain biking, though I don't ride as often as I'd like. Indoors, it's playing the guitar. I'm a pretty good chess player as well.
