CURRENT MISSION

I have a list. It involves the Great Wall, 50 states, and a publisher. If you have access to any of the three, feel free to contact me.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fan of conversations that begin as the sun sets and last until the sun rises.

I also really like climbing trees and looking up at the sun slits in leaves.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be:

Honest
Loving
Patient
Humble
Brave
Just
Generous

Interests

I like bicycles, poetry, wine, and cheese, but not necessarily at the same time.

• poetry
• wine
• cheese
• camping
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently finished the Poisonwood Bible. I know I'm a decade behind, but that was some goo stuff.

Music: Paul Simon. Seriously awesome.

Movies: Too many to list, really, but there's one that really stuck: The Big Kahuna. Watch it. Let that scene about God in a closet really shake you. You'll know what I mean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: A Gray Whale. Humbling and inspiring.

Done: Worked on three Disaster Relief sites in New Orleans after Katrina. Volunteered at a refugee children's summer camp in Nablus, Palestine. Not amazing so much on my own, but as a tiny part of a greater effort, amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Remember when Bill Clinton asked, "What is is?"

Likely the greatest philosophical question an American President has ever asked.

I'd love to host a conversation where we'd try to find the answer to it, too.
