CURRENT MISSION

Livin' the dream...

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Manchester, NH. Lived in beautiful North Lake Tahoe area a few years. Resting the boots in San Fran's Richmond district currently. I love to travel and am pretty much game for anything. Successfully completed a few cross-country roadtrips, minus a couple tires and such. Hiked, kayaked, and sailed the Sea of Cortez with the help of NOLS. Spent some time abroad in Italy, France, and England. And would definitely be down for showing anyone a good time in SF, as I'm exploring the city myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Pro-Self. Don't let the Law or Money be restrictions on living.

Music, Movies, and Books

The only movie I didn't finish was Van Helsing, and I'll watch horror, but with my hands over my ears and occasional closed eyes. Everything else is a YES. Favorites: The Goonies, Princess Bride, Arthur (with Dudley Moore), Notting Hill (yep, I'm a sap), the Departed, Jurassic Park, and a ton more I can't think of off the top of my head.

Music is also an everything, minus most country. Love Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam, and Incubus. Any CD from the 90's is a hell yes.

My all-time favorite writer is John Irving. And the only person I've ever really despised is Stephanie Meyer. If I'm traveling I like to take some short stories along: Flannery O'Connor, Poe is always entertaining, Dahl's adult poetry is hilarious, and Salinger offers a few great smaller pieces apart from his classic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of cool things but I've yet to be truly blown away by something...still looking for this answer though.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Snowboarding, knots, backcountry cooking, how to tell the difference between an endoscopy and colonoscopy, useless knowledge, how to kick ass at jeopardy.

Learn: What can you teach me?
