CURRENT MISSION

Eat more vegetables!

ABOUT ME

I go outside a lot - hiking, climbing, skiing, camping, and sometimes running. I love music of many genres, and occasionally practice stringed instruments. Right now, I work in the summers as a wildland firefighter. This gives me time in the winter (the "off-season") to play outside and travel.

Otherwise, I like to cook, read (Tom Robbins has been a recent favorite), write in my journal, drink good beer, and hang out!

PHILOSOPHY

Know the color of peoples' eyes. Pick up trash when you're out in nature if you can. Try to find common ground to connect with others, even if you're from different backgrounds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to bake rolls and have a great recipe if you're interested. I know how to poach an egg. I can also tie a few knots if you'd like to learn.

I would like to learn language and literary ideas.
