ABOUT ME

Candidate for the world's most accident prone adrenaline junkie award. Prefer to be on the move and experiencing something new. I'm a sponge. I thoroughly enjoy actin' a fool and appreciate my fellow awkward weirdos. Former resident American of Beylagan "City," Azerbaijan. I could see Iran from my house. Take that, Palin.

PHILOSOPHY

"A lesson must be lived in order to be learned."
-Ani DiFranco

Interests

Ramblin.' Bad jokes. Doing the robot. Drinking out of jars. Running around with my camera. Creative expression. Jumping out of planes. Pretending I am Joan Jett.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free falling at 180 MPH from 14,000 feet. A simultaneous incomparable adrenaline rush and oddly zen-like experience. Deploying the parachute and hanging over the Western Massachusetts Pioneer Valley, spiraling down amid distant peaks and the curve of the Connecticut River. September 2010.
