ABOUT ME

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I quote the most often: The Princess Bride, The Big Lebowski, Stranger than Fiction, Pulp Fiction, The Mighty Ducks

I enjoy any music that makes me get down and boogie or think in new ways.

Last great book read: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Outlander:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well this year I have spend about 9 weeks in western Greenland studying plants. I have also lived in an Alaska bush camp for 2 months, floated the grand canyon in February 2010, studied abroad in Italy when I was 16, and surveyed almost all the high alpine lakes in Colorado.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, a good conversation goes a long way. Whether that is discussing global politics, exchanging jokes, or whipping up a tasty meal, I love sharing ideas, skills, and points of view. I look forward to meeting new people and participating in a symbiotic relationship to better both our lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Both good and bad jokes, a tasty meal, and perhaps a song or two.
