About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get out of my comfort zone.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Idaho, studied international politics in Washington state, studied abroad in Northeastern Brazil, moved to Indiana for grad school, backpacked a bit around Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't have too many convictions at this point in my life... "If you never change your mind, why have one?"
"Everything in moderation, including moderation."

Music, Movies, and Books

jazz, no wave, experimental, free improv, 20th century classical music, and much more...I'm always interested in sharing music and will probably bring you a mix CD if I come surf!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked/studied at a community music school in Iguatu in the sertao of Brazil that the city had built from the ground up. It reaffirmed my belief in the power of music!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you what I know about vegetarianism, feminism, yoga, music theory, guitar chords, saxophone, and maybe more...and I want to learn anything you have to offer!

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom
