CURRENT MISSION

Trying to forget something new every day!

ABOUT ME

Brian is originally from the Westchester suburbs of NYC, and spent his winters in Vermont learning to ski race. He went to college in Baltimore, lived for about a year in New Jersey, and moved to Idaho. He owns a software development business, skis, eats and schmoozes!

Jodie is from the NY suburbs too (Rockland County). She has a PhD in child psychology at Fordham University and works at the Northwest Neurobehavioral Health as a psychologist in Meridian, ID. She enjoys running, cooking, reading good books and having stimulating conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

This is the greatest moment of your life, so pay attention to it! Give up the illusion of control and live at peace with the truth that the only constant is change. Waste no time trying to unravel the mysteries around you, for mystery and paradox are all there is.

Also, it's best to ski really fast, and as often as possible.
