CURRENT MISSION

Get my job done, and try to have a positive and valuable impact on the world...

ABOUT ME

I love new experiences, trying new things, traveling, learning, living! I also like to have quiet time by myself, read a good book, or write in a cafe (preferably a new cafe). I love people but I'm usually somewhat reserved.

PHILOSOPHY

Anticonformism is what you do not what attitude you exude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking the train in San Francisco near Balboa BART I saw light coming through a big concrete window opening and the angle was just right and it blew my mind. Looking out over the dry desert valley floor from an 11,000 foot peak in Nevada while standing in snow made me feel elated (several times). Being alone for 4 weeks while biking from Paris to Perpignan in France made me feel incredibly lonely but incredibly alive. I think I'm really turned on by a beautiful landscape.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a mean pancake.
