CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, contribute to the world, do science and be outside as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I've worked as scientist for the my whole career, and love science. I have a keen interest in artistic enterprises, and have a poetry blog at www.le-poeme.blogspot.com. I've always done low-key grassroots action in the cycling community and in my neighborhood. I volunteer as a forest service ranger in the wilderness area during the summer. I have two couch-surfing kids, now in graduate school..and scientists! ; )
Stephen is an avid bike rider...a software engineer by profession. The nicest guy you'd ever meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Tread softly on the earth, treat others as you would like to be treated, enjoy the goodness in life.
