CURRENT MISSION

To seek out more of the world and myself through it.

ABOUT ME

I was raised East coast. I'm gay, but I'm a hippy at heart. I was laid off a few months ago from my job as a personal assistant when the economy started going nuts. I lost my home, and as a result started couch surfing with my friends. It has been the best experience of my life... a new way of getting to know people better and learning to be a better roommate (as I'd spent the last 5 years living by myself). So I'd decided to take it on the road instead of just staying in Seattle. Now I've lived all down the West Coast and Stopped in San Diego (for the time being ;)

I've had all sorts of jobs big and small. Before I moved to Seattle I did behavioral therapy, specializing in children with Autism. I've worked on farms, in an LGBT support group, been secretary at a Bank, worked with Arts organizations, waited tables, served drinks on cruise ships, danced.

I have an interest in other languages and cultures (even the cultures of other American cities). I love to write, and read, and take pictures. I'm trying to teach myself to paint, draw, and play guitar among many other things. I LOVE to cook almost as much as I love to eat... almost.
I'm very health conscious but try not to be obsessed.

I have a strong sarcastic wit, a love of people and their dynamic relationships, and am pretty laid back.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man is the most amazing experience ever. Not to sound cliche... :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really sure what I have to teach that would be of interest to others...

I would love to learn anything someone has the patience to teach.

See interests.
