CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in South Lake Tahoe riding as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I want to make a difference in this world doing what I love, which is cooking. I finally realized that working for "the man" just doesn't cut it for me. I used to be a mortgage broker, but finally gave it up. Why spend so much time doing something you don't love? I know a lot of people get stuck in jobs, but if you have the choice, I say get out! Live!!! Love! And find a way to make money doing something you love.

PHILOSOPHY

Ever read Desiderata? That poem says it so well!

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and find what peace there may be in silence....

Go read the rest, it's sweet! When I unpack I'll write the rest.

Interests

in the winter: snowboarding, hiking with my dog, cooking
in the summer: climbing mountains, bouldering, rapelling, lots of hiking with my dog. Wakeboarding if I have access to a boat.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bringing Vonneguet with me on this trip along with lots of cook books.
I love so many types of music. Love to dance to jam bands, love to rock to Maynard, love to sing with Alicia Keys. Zeppelin and Bob Marley are always on my playlists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just love when you end up somewhere you maybe weren't supposed to be, and it turns out something way more important than you sent you there for some specific purpose. Call it coincidence, call it fate, but it happens all the time!

Teach, Learn, Share

Food! Let's talk about it, teach each other about it!
And let's eat it! (all the while hopefully composting, recycling, and eating foods grown super close to you)
