CURRENT MISSION

Discovering how Oreo's are made

ABOUT ME

I am a Tour Director in Alaska during the summers, leading two week tours with old people, showing them how amazing and beautiful the state is! I also work a remarkably flexible job as a substitute teacher which gives me the opportunity to travel and adventure a bit. I am currently seeking full-time, salaried employment as a history instructor and working nights as a bartender.

PHILOSOPHY

It's short and beautiful, live it well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the 8.8 Chilean earthquake in the spring of 2010.

I was in a rollover car accident while touring Patagonia.

I almost drowned in Paraty, Brasil

While working in Alaska I have had coaches break down, guests break arms, and been stranded due to black bear attacks.

In sum, I'm generally bad luck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher by trade so I love all three. I'd love to learn about what you think, believe, do, your talents, experiences, culture, and life.

I am open to share any of the above about myself.

I play scrabble like a champ and make a pretty killer quesadilla.
