CURRENT MISSION

Seeking adventure and understanding

ABOUT ME

Barrier breaker and uniter.

I'm interested in new and emerging technologies, I follow current events, and I like to go hiking, biking, running (even if it does wreck my knees) white water rafting and canoeing. I enjoy volunteering (fire department, HFH, etc.) and/or being adventurous in my spare time.

I:

listen to music more than I watch TV since I only watch a few shows or the news. Pandora, GrooveShark, or YouTube. Sometimes, I don't even have a TV (like now). When I do have a TV, I usually have the news on for background noise.

like tinkering around with stuff and have a thing for good quotes.

like DIY projects like learning new skills/crafts. I appreciate good design.

My favorite foods change. I prefer meat to vegetables. Sunday through Friday I (usually) eat the same thing except for dinner. Unless I am traveling/working an irregular schedule (which is often).

PHILOSOPHY

Go all the way, or not at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam a mile... once... long, long ago. For some reason I enjoy the American Southwest a lot--probably because I've never been there in the summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

"We see things not as they are, but as we are."

"Be true to thine own self."

I got a thing for good quotes--share away!
