ABOUT ME

I started CS in 2008 when I embarked on a several month trip to Guatemala. I met some incredible people. Well, that "several month trip" turned into several years. I currently live in the Twin Cities and am a full-time nonprofiteer.

I like to think of myself as open minded and welcome any new experiences... Traveling is definitely one of my greatest passions.

PHILOSOPHY

“It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?! Swam with Dolphins and a pod of Manatees in the wild. Ok maybe 2... Chanted at an Ashram in Rishikesh, India. They started chanting for world peace and 2 days later the war ended. There has been at least one person chanting ever since. They have never stopped.
