CURRENT MISSION

Give more than I receive

ABOUT ME

Greg loves and respects people. I'm goofy at times and almost always thoughtful. I'm grateful. I've researched dolphins and worked in international development. I've scared giraffes, wondered at the Buddha at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puning_Temple, and seen living stramatolites - colonies of cyanobacteria which ruled the earth 3.8 billion years ago and gave us the oxygen we breathe. Personality wise, I'm an EN T/F P in Myers-Briggs. My website is greglnelson.info
