ABOUT ME

Check my references for a better idea of what to expect from me. There are some things I'm passionate about, most everything else I don’t take seriously. I have a lot of energy for anything from skydiving to scuba diving, walking to ice skating to festivals to live performances to trespassing in abandoned buildings, I'm down. I also like conversations with people who are direct, passionate, have strong opinions and/or have a sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Trouble, laughter, wanderlust, rapture, awe, repeat. (Note to non native English speakers: Awe, in the way Im using it, is a feeling of amazement or beautiful respect mixed with deep wonder. The feeling you get when you look at a clear sky full of stars or wonder what it is to be alive. Awe, or rapture, is my favorite state of mind.)
