One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking at Mt. Jefferson in Oregon. A perfect, sunny fall weekend. Laying next to a small mountain lake with a friend, with a warm campfire and bottle of wine, gazing at a night sky filled with the most stars I've ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Adobe computer programs very well, as I use them for work. I also know a bit about backpacking in the wilderness, music (playing piano) . . .
