One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I accidentally recently completed a 1.5 year circular road trip that included most states west of the Mississippi. (I've still never been to California though! Some day).

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught a variety of topics to youth over the years, mostly related to English, History, and Environmental studies. Math is the one subject that I would never hire myself to teach :-)

I practice yoga and meditation and can share about both, and like to learn from others about both, too.

I like learning from everybody!

What I Can Share with Hosts

positive energy, some yoga moves, conversation, and a walk in some wild place
