ABOUT ME

I grew up in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, and studied geology and biology for my undergraduate degree. Went on to study environmental engineering for my masters degree and worked in environmental consulting for 2 years before moving to Japan to teach English as part of the JET Program. I lived in a small village that is part of the larger city of Takayama, in Gifu prefecture for 3 years. I've studied a bit of Japanese, although my language skills are still pretty basic. I love to travel and I also enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and snowboarding/skiing.
