CURRENT MISSION

To fling ourselves around the globe, widen the scope of our worldview, get some different dirt on our shoes, and leave this big blue rock someday with a few stories.

ABOUT ME

We started dating in October of 2007 & moved in together two years later. We live and love in Chicago. We pet a rabbit named Mickey who lives in our kitchen.

We're laid back, easy going, friendly and considerate.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and Let Live" has always seemed a perfectly succinct and logical life philosophy. If only everyone subscribed to it.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Danielle -- The funeral procession for my opa in Rutung, a tiny village on Ambon in Indonesia. A band (mostly barefoot & mostly my blood relatives) played homemade pan flutes.

Will -- Grant Park, Election Night 2008. The closest I've ever felt to being in one of those old "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" commercials. It felt really good to be an American that night. Fleeting, sure, but that night it was thrilling. Also, seeing Fugazi at an outdoor show at their (I think) last gig at Fort Reno in Washington, DC as a thunderstorm rolled in behind them. Amazing.
