CURRENT MISSION

Do something to remember each day

ABOUT ME

I find many ways to occupy my time and take advantage of the opportunities that exist all around us. Smiles comes easy and laughter is not hard to find either.

I work as a Pediatric Nurse. Jamie is a recent Masters in Public Health Nutrition graduate from UC Berkeley and now is doing her residency/internship to become a Registered Dietitian.

Jamie and I have been together for over 10 years now, so I guess you could say that we really like each other. We enjoy fresh food and a glass of wine most nights. We love the outdoors.

We both love the ocean and most associated activities. We also love the mountains, hiking through the woods, a day on the lake, or winter skiing.

PHILOSOPHY
An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory
Life is short, make fun of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a snowy afternoon we suited up in our cold weather gear, strapped on the snow shoes and spent the entire afternoon hiking to the top of a nearby mountain (a very steep one). We then laid on our bellies (like penguins) and slid down the entire slope head first. We didn't actually think it would work, but it did. We reached incredible speeds, snow spitting in our faces while trying to avoid the occasional tree. It was just an amazing and silly day.
