About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Salubrious living

PHILOSOPHY

I am interested in people, places and ideas. I try to be open and easy-going. Where I don't succeed, I attempt to improve myself. I value kindness and honesty and do my best to embody these traits. I am more interested in how people think and why then the incidentals of a resume.

Interests

Reading (novels, non-fiction, poetry, the New Yorker. . . though lately mostly textbooks), Traveling, Biking, Hiking, Eating, Cooking, Tippling, Sailing, Walking around. . . .

Teach, Learn, Share

There are a few dishes (mostly Itialian -- from my days working in restaurants) that I can cook well. I know a bit about wine and am a decent editor. I know a little about medicine (more theory than practice) and have some knowledge of disease (particularly infectious disease) at the population level. These last two might not be so translatable.

I am interested in learning more about cooking (anything food or beverage related, really) and anything cultural (which is to say everything).
