CURRENT MISSION

To live a life of exploration, service and joy.

ABOUT ME

Some friends would called me lost, but I say that not all those who wander are lost.

I currently coordinate a community center/food pantry in Colorado Springs, CO. I also direct interagency health and feeding programs and am working on building community gardens for 3 sites in 2012. I am also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who served in the Philippines from 2008-2010. Great to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is to live fully, wisely, compassionately and with joy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to meet other humanitarians, or those who love to travel and learn. I enjoy sharing experiences with all kinds of people--
I have a friend who tells me I could get along with a brick.

You know what? I think he's right.
