ABOUT ME

Warm, friendly, and easy-going. It's evident I grew up in Southern California, but I've spent the past eight years getting to know other corners of the United States.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

兴趣

I love all sorts of things. I like to try everything once. I like to learn about how things work.

I've been through stints of scrapbooking, fiber arts, yoga, long distance running, film, contemporary art, design, baking, etc, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

(Amazing Things I've Done) Influence the making of policy.

(Amazing Things I've Seen) The Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo was one - when I saw men so focused at their work, I thought to myself, this is what it's about - to be just so into that one thing that you're doing. Another, a stark contrast, visiting downtown Detroit, MI, left me in awe. The ruins of a once thriving city - the remains of a rich culture, inhabited by a mere fraction of the population it once held.
