About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find time to do it all. (and finding my next destination. Oregon? Iceland? Caribbean?)

ABOUT ME

I'm curious about pretty much everything. I love learning new things, meeting interesting people, and finding out about stuff. If you got something fun to tell, I'm interested in hearing it. And if you're interested, I also have some interesting stories.

I'm in a science research job right now, which I really enjoy. I love the outdoors, and a good outdoor hike with friends. But cities are great too and living near San Francisco is awesome. I like things off the beaten track, and have a few unusual hobbies (large scale artwork, mountain unicycling, ...).

But I mostly enjoy doing things and spending time with friends and other good people.

PHILOSOPHY

To be daring, try new things, enjoy life, share, and be grateful for what you have.
Want what you have. Give what you need.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling north of the Polar Circle in Norway. Canyoning in New Zealand. Going to Burning Man in Nevada in the US. Sailing in the Caribbean. Unicycling on the Great Wall in China. Ok, that was more than one thing.

I can explain why the sky is blue...
