CURRENT MISSION

Understanding the human mind and how it handles reality.

ABOUT ME

We're a couple, married 34 years, with adult children recently out of the nest, several years living most of the time in New Zealand. Burning Man has been part of our lives for several years. We treasure our friends, love to share good food, and follow music, movies and current affairs, and read all sorts of books. Leisure time is filled with mountain biking, playing squash, gardening and building on our new(ish) house.

PHILOSOPHY

Work on the world by paying attention to what you're doing and treating the people around you well.
