CURRENT MISSION

To meet and write about as many different people and places as possible.

ABOUT ME

I currently teach freshman English at a few colleges while writing and planning my next adventure. I read, write, hike, camp, and explore. I want to learn about everything. I want to talk to everyone and hear great stories and meet characters. I'm out to find the different, the obscure, and the unusually ordinary, if you know what I mean. I also like to climb trees and rocks.

PHILOSOPHY

To be honest and to be kind.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison River in Colorado is the most amazing thing I have ever seen--and I hiked down into it!

教，学，和分享

Honesty bordering on the painful. I'm only now beginning to understand the complicated reasoning behind white lies.

Much knowledge of narrative journalism because of school and personal obsession. (Tall Trees by Richard Preston, anything by Ted Conover, and George Orwell's essays.)

How to ask questions.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Delicious french toast. I also make a mean quesadilla.

I give great feedback on stories and essays. I'm also a decent copy-editor. If you have something you want feedback or edits on, I can offer my services.
