CURRENT MISSION

Don't worry, be happy.

Interests

I love reading, drawing, movies, outdoor adventures, having a good time, and live music.

In particular I am a jam-band fan; I love all the usual suspects (Phish, the Grateful Dead, etc) and I saw Phish several times. My favorite touring band is Railroad Earth.

I love reading too, particularly the fantasy genre. (I am kind of a geek.) I read lots of other stuff though. My favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, David Eddings, Neil Gaiman, George R.R. Martin, Robin McKinley, Anne McCaffrey, and John Irving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove 800 miles to volunteer at a small music festival in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. (Speaking of which, if you're into the roots/bluegrass music scene, you can't find a better atmosphere in which to volunteer than FloydFest! Check it out at www.floydfest.com!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a great spell-checker, and I know lots of useless movie trivia. :D
