ABOUT ME

born and raised in dayton, ohio. i went to ohio state university and majored in french. i continued living in columbus for a little while after graduating, then last year went to work in yellowstone national park for the season. this year i worked in grand teton national park and am just now finishing my seasonal job. and now i'm moving to portland, and i'm very excited.

PHILOSOPHY

oh, i dunno, i guess i'll go with monty python on this one: uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations . . . and . . .

always look on the bright side of life (whistle here)
