ABOUT ME

Mara and I have been living in our house together for a while. We enjoy cooking creative vegan food, reading good books, growing our own food, discussing the world and all of its perks and problems and sharing a bottle of wine with fun and interesting people. We believe one can never learn or love too much.

PHILOSOPHY

Be introspective. Don't be a jerk.
