CURRENT MISSION

Living deliberately. Doing work I love. Seeing the world.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon, USA. I left for 5+ years to attend undergrad and grad school in southern california, and now I have returned. I like candor, humor, thoughtfulness, and the right balance of work, relax, and play.

Here are some quotes I like:

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
~Jeff Magnum~

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.
~Bob Dylan~

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards"
~ Kierkegaard ~

PHILOSOPHY

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. (Dylan)

I like maximizing the stimulation of my five senses.

I think it is important to do your part.
