Overview
About Me
Recently moved up to Portland Oregon from California. Lucky enough to have a job in the non-profit sector that allows me to work remotely, so trying to travel more. (Kona, San Diego, San Fran, and Philadelphia thus far in 2020). Striving to live simply with a focus on community and experiences over material possessions (but alas have a weakness for nice kitchen gadgets).
Father of 3 great kids that are with me 50%. Will be able to host travelers beginning this summer.
