CURRENT MISSION

Graduate!

ABOUT ME

I'm at the crossroads again. Looking at the end of grad school and on to a profession. I'm hoping to avoid work for at least 6 months after I finish my thesis to bike, climb and reconnect with old friends. Maybe make some new friends on the way. The soundtrack to my life includes the songs of Todd Snider, John Prine, Graham Weber, and Bruce Cockburn. I think being a good storyteller is the greatest human quality. I'm thinking about getting my first tattoo.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that its best to follow your own path, but that if you find love on that path, you should be smart enough to hold onto it. Its important to have a balance of drivenness, humility, carefree wandering, respect for others and time for yourself.
