ABOUT ME

I'll never have more life before me than I do right now.

I'm working on my Masters in Geography.

PHILOSOPHY

Give the benefit of the doubt.
Unconditional positive regard.
Listen to children.

Interests

Watching the sun stay in one place as the Earth rotates.

Hiking, running, backpacking, bike touring, reading, learning, skiing, watching entire TV series in one weekend, jigsaw puzzles, setting my tent up just about anywhere, unicorns.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once completed a Sunday New York Times Crossword in ink.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to learn at least one thing from every person I meet.

I have plenty of formal schooling in international relations, with particular interests in nuclear power and in the Cold War. I'm working on getting my learn on with some geography. I also love to read and will happily discuss the finer points of Eggers, King (Stephen), Palahniuk, Crichton, Klosterman, and Sedaris.

Oh, and I'm learning Spanish so if you're patient, I'd like to speak it with you!
