CURRENT MISSION

to lead, teach, empower, create. I am working on how to actualize these into a profession

ABOUT ME

I'm an outdoor adventurer. We are often not at home because we are off playing. We love to show off Portland. Also, love to travel and experience other people and cultures. Enjoy connection through: intense conversations, climbing rock, dancing to the drums, jumping in swimming holes, giggling, drinking wine, sharing a meal and just being in the moment. I love life.

PHILOSOPHY

I look on the brighter side. I also think life should be inclusive and varied. I love people and try to be respectful and flexible of others. Life is short and worth experiencing while we can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

bungie jumped in Australia, dove the blue hole, climbed kili, via ferrete in Italy, biked around Etna, ice climbed in Canmore, skinny dipped in Greece, scaled The Grand, danced to drums around the campfire, drank beer in the turquoises pool in Tobago and the adventures continue. No way I could pick just one....
