CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I went to University in Florida, and California (Masters). I've lived in Portland, OR, Brooklyn, NY and currently the San Francisco Bay Area. I worked for 4 years as an Urban Forester New York City and currently work as an Urban Planner for a small city in the East Bay. I'd like to meet some CSers hear their tales, and Travel the world when I can find time to get away.

Most recent trips (past two years( were to Ireland, Southern Spain, Copenhagen/Malmo, and Bulgaria.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies that are thought provoking, sometimes a little out there. Donnie Darko, 28 Days Later, City of God, American History X, LA Confidential, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Mad Max Fury Road. I like a wide variety of music, mostly rock, underground hip-hop, 80s, indie rock. As far a books go I like most Vonnegut books, Catch-22, 1984, Cloud Atlas, Lost City of Z, Geek Love, A Confederacy of Dunces, mostly I'm just trying to catch up on New Yorker articles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.
