CURRENT MISSION

Loving and serving the people who come into my life.

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm pretty easy to get along with. I can relate with a wide variety of people: little kids, older people, teenagers, guys, girls, middle-agers, college age, etc. I love anything active. I enjoy biking, skiing (XC, downhill, water), water polo, scuba diving, skimboarding, driving, visiting new places, cooking, trying new foods, languages, being the person that gets to open the bag of vacuum compressed coffee,...I love meeting new people and having new experiences and it is very hard for me to let life draw people away. I am a seeker of truth. I am not afraid to have people question my beliefs, I even question them, because if something is true it will stand up to every test thrown at it. My goals in the next few years is to become a paramedic and firefighter, I enjoy and find accomplishment in helping others.

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I scared a crocodile by a lake when I was 7...but it also scared me! I've had to make an emergency camp on a rocky mountain slope at 2000m elevation. I've left the normal to embrace the foreign - 8 months (so far)living in Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that talking and being honest is how to get through disagreements.
