CURRENT MISSION

To hit the stratosphere with a helium balloon

ABOUT ME

I make friends easily. Although I consider myself shy, people who know me say that I'm anything but. I just left a lot of good buddies in a neat place called Seattle, Washington where I bummed around for 6 1/2 years...and I'm a little bit sad...but I'm already working on new buddies in this icy frontier. Go Anchorage! Go Fairbanks! Go NOME! To my Seattle Buddies, California Buddies, Colorado Buddies, Alabama Buddies, Ohio Buddies, and Virginia Buddies...come on up!!!

PHILOSOPHY

ok, here's a greek word for you: Hilaritas which I've been told is loosely translated: Live joyfully and be proud of what you are. I got that from a University of Alabama Holiday Concert.

Interests

Helium balloons on ships, in the wildnerness, and icefields. Other than that, I enjoy the organ, piano, politics, economics, good flicks,
