I want to see as much of the world as I can while my knees are still strong! Also, to have a collection of rocks from every continent. And eat many things I've never heard of.

I'm a geologist, specialized in volcanology. I love patterns and places and stories.
A big fan of natural areas, art and music, food, and great conversation!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month in Chile's Atacama desert doing field research on some un-studied volcanoes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about rocks. I love to cook, but not fancy.

I can play some mean saxophone if you happen to have one laying around.
