CURRENT MISSION

Contemplating College, Inquisitive Every Day

ABOUT ME

I am an eclectic amalgamation of interests and curiosities. I admire Quality: in wooden spoons, my friendships and the design of houses. Expression and communication are powerful elements of my life.

I am interested in autodidactism, bicycling, canning food, cooking from scratch, fixing things, gardening, homebrewing, juggling, photography, unschooling.

PHILOSOPHY

Daily, intentionally, doing more with less.
