One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen many amazing and beautiful places, things, and people. Sometimes the most beautiful things are also the most painful moments, but can also be a view from the highest mountains, into the deepest of caves, hearing absolute silence. I am a people person, so most of the most amazing things I have done have involved an interaction of some sort with another human being.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to Cook, Photograph, build Websites and even more I love to show people how to do these things.I love to tinker and fix things, even if that means taking it apart four times, putting it back together to no avail and starting over again.

I love to learn how people see things, when it is different from how I see. I love to learn different ways of what I do every day. Like I said in the previous section, we are all beautiful humans, and each one has much to teach :-)
