CURRENT MISSION

I wish to meet as many excellent people as i can find, while experiencing life in its most natural form.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised on Orcas Island, a wonderful place. It is off the coast of Washington state in the Puget Sound. It was my home, is my home and will always be my home. Its a place that impels the true understanding of community, this discernment is invaluable and has shaped who I am as a person, yet the lack of any sort of anonymity can be wearing. On a lighter note and as for who I am: I love to laugh, write, read, converse, and surround myself with chronic wonderer's.

PHILOSOPHY

Violence solves very little, If I could I would solve all the worlds problems with laughter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on a 1200 foot cliff overlooking the ocean during a thunder and lighting storm, with the sun shining through the clouds illuminating a portion of the water then the rain came and my hair was standing on end, and to top it off a rainbow right before sunset the only word I can think of is magical.

Teach, Learn, Share

i live under the assumption that people are inherently good, which could be considered naive by some but has worked for me...so far.
