ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in California. I am originally from San Francisco but I have lived in San Diego for 6 years. I graduated from University of California, San Diego where I studied Biochemistry and Spanish. I studied for one semester in Barcelona. I have worked as a chemist and as a wilderness guide, and now I work in a Biology lab.

PHILOSOPHY

"Not all who wander are lost"

"Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted"

"Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life."

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
