Some stuff about me:

-2 seasons skiing and living the dream in the Rockies,
-2 and half years shepherding young kids around Mongolia,
-I was a professional surfer for 2 days in St. Louis,
-Worked at an emu farm,
-Subsistence farmed on the Asian steppe,
-Lived in a hammock at a dive shop on The Reef,
-I coached a T-ball team that won 4th place in the 4-5 age group,
-Most of college I had a roommate named turtle, he was a tortoise,
-I once spent a week alone & naked on a deserted island to see what it was like,

You know, the other usual stuff.
