CURRENT MISSION

To make as many mustache jokes as possible. :P

ABOUT ME

Photo taker, mountain climber, beer/wine drinker, and full of good ridiculous nonsense. Interested in moving abroad - currently Australia or New Zealand are top choices with my current life status.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life by making others smile and laugh, thus in turn making others smile too.

Was hosted in Kyoto at the last minute by an amazing host.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really like historical gladiator/roman stuff.
I also enjoy Lost in Translation, I Heart Huckabees, Broken Flowers, Black Dynamite, Machete, Airplane, Blazing Saddles and pretty much all of Monty Python. Also the Mighty Boosh!

I've been at school too much recently so readings been stuff on sociology, geography, anthropology and photography. When I get to reading casually I like fantasy/scifi/travel with some mystery and comedy mixed in.

Music? Alabama Shakes/Little Feat/Kishidan/O.A.R./Pepper (I listen to a lot of stuff...too many to list!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a Japanese Highschool.
Was in the 3/11 Japanese Earthquake.
Climbed a glacier (and conquered some mountains!)
I participate in a 16mile mountain race every year.
Have had 3 art shows in my lifetime so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more about Beer! (and the world!)

I can teach you about Alaska, Japan, what great Alaskan micro brews to drink and whatever other random knowledge I have.

I love sharing my music and stories and drinks between friends - new and old.
