Kim: I work as our family's chief administrator which means low wages and a great benefits package. The family I speak consists of Rick, my life partner, our son Gabriel, and our kitty girl, Peanut. In my pre-administrator days I earned my BA and MFA in Theater. I will return to the theater someday. I have also worked with the elderly and mentally ill populations; I found both to be rewarding. Things I enjoy include cooking in new and healthy ways, svaroopa yoga, gardening, teaching and spending time with friends and family. My hope for cohousing is to finally feel a part of something important, true human connection. I want to be part of a community of people that gather together in times of celebration and turmoil and everything in between. I've been involved with Mosaic Commons since May, 2001. Something everyone will realize about me is I am VERY passionate. ENFP.

Gabe: I am six years old. My mama is Kim and my papa is Rick. I like to paint, ride my bike, sing, help in the garden and talk in my very own language. My one hope about cohousing is that I can go over to my friends' houses and ride bikes without a grown-up. One thing everyone should know about me is I have no volume control.

Rick: I am husband to Kim and papa to Gabriel. I am a native of Idaho but a very happy transplant in Massachusetts. I am also a veteran of the US Navy. My career path has flip-flopped between Theater and Electronics (pun intended). I am currently working as an Electrical Engineer. My hobbies include reading, gardening, biking, chess, and woodworking. I am also a bit of a videophile. I've been involved with Mosaic Commons since June, 2001. My hopes for cohousing are to have a great place to raise and teach my child(ren), and to build a kick-a-- woodworking shop. ESTP.
