CURRENT MISSION

To be the person my dog thinks I am

ABOUT ME

I am a 40-something pansexual with a broad range of job experience and a varied education. I enjoy travel and good food, love animals, and enjoy good friends, good drinks, and good conversation. I love humor, intelligence, and colorful skies.
I currently work in education, and am pursuing a degree in the teaching field. I have worked with special needs, but plan to focus on English and History.

PHILOSOPHY

As ye harm none, do as ye will.
Try everything twice- you may have been biased the first time.
Live for the moment. Have experiences. Make memories.
Pay it forward. You never know when you'll need that extra hand up, so share it.
