I'm a life loving guy. I tend to be a bit cautious but I love getting out there and just doing something. I have a passion for all things nature. I like to mountain bike and hike. I love taking photos and I'm fine spending hours wandering just to take a few good ones. I like my beer. My current city of Minneapolis has over thirty breweries in the metro area, and I'm still exploring them. Recently I've been interested in well made kölsch and on the other end, coffee stouts. A good way to judge a brewery is by its IPA. I'm hoping that I can meet new people and learn from them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen to music. Often I'll like an album or two and listen to them for two weeks before moving on. I like everything from classical, jazz, and ambient to all sorts of rock (prog rock, alt rock, funk rock), hip hop and folk.

My constant favorites are Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Andrew Bird and Old Crow Medicine Show. I'm trying to listen to more schoolboy Q, chance the rapper.

I've been reading some Alan Watts as well as fantasy novels. I read all of the wheel of time novels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always looking to share my world view and learn how others see the world
