Love life and love people. Easy going, up for new adventures and challenges, ready to go or meet up at a moments notice. Travel frequently for work, so may be in Germany one week and Alberta the next. Work in science and technology, may be given to bouts of geeking out, but I can keep it under control. Hit me up and I'll show you around.

For books, I listen to a wide range of books while on travel. I just finished Captive Paradise (History of first contact to statehood of Hawaii), Enduring Courage - the Lewis and Clarke Story, Wild Yosemite, To the edges of the earth.
