About Me

CURRENT MISSION

less thinking, more doing.

ABOUT ME

I love ideas and art. I am a talker and a thinker. I enjoy wine and love food and am a vegetarian. I try to read often and look at art as much as i can. I live in New York and love urban living but enjoy trees (my Pacific Northwest roots). I am happiest when I'm having a great dinner with my friends and a nice walk after.

PHILOSOPHY

" You are so young,so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you dear sir, as well as i can, to have patience with everything that remains unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked room or books written in a very foreign language." - Rilke

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in San Francisco was a great experience. Some of my most favorite times were spent riding bikes with my friends at night and making a fire at the beach. Simple but vibrant.
