About Me

I am easy-going--yet energetic. I get along with everyone: priests, rabbis, wanderers, musicians, explorers, party animals, quiet types, French, Poles, Texans, Chicagoans, parokeets, gays, asexuals, beetles, or trapeze artists--I have seen them all! :)
I am from a small town in the Midwest. But, I lived in NYC for most of my adult life. I studied German for a year in Berlin.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm a nihilist.
Just kidding!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After graduating college, I hopped a 2am train and moved to NYC with $900 to my name and a bag of clothes.
I moved to Berlin on a whim in 2005--just quit my job and moved there. I lasted 6 months.
I lived in a Zen Buddhist temple in Brooklyn, NY for a year.
I hiked for 4 days in Utah canyons. Breathtaking!
I moved to Seattle three years ago to study environmental issues.
