CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I live in the most eclectic city in the world - Asheville, North Carolina! My partner Eric and I share a home with another wonderful couple. We write at The20Somethings.com. I'm the owner of a personal shopping business - SimplyToGoNC.com - and I also work for the YMCA!

PHILOSOPHY

To love people. To be a good steward to the planet I live on. To be caring and listening to others. To give to others what I have but don't need. To be flexible. To have fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
