My first breath blew out my lung, and I aim to make every one since count.
I have traveled a lot with baby booming, military brat parents that could not sit still. Even in retirement, they travel the world.
I work to help people get back on their feet when life doled out lemons.
I was raised to respect the rule that the cook never cleans, to speak softly and only if you've something to say, and to treat others as you would hope to see in return.
I don't like using the work "I" as often as a title stating "About Me" requires.
I'd like to have minimal regrets, and to have lived a life that held true to "try everything once" before I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lot of fantasy books read, gameboys played, and most recently reddit threads perused in the back seat of a car, the cramped seat of an airplane, and belowdeck in a boat. I just like stories that are honest and characters that grow in lore and in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked with a person fighting back from a quadrapalegic state as they were pushing to relearn how to move again. After standing up for the first time since the event, they transitioned what had begun as a simple weight shifting exercise to dancing right as the chorus to Ain't No Mountain High Enough kicked in on the gym radio behind us. They were grinning, and I couldn't help but laugh at how, even in this monumental predicament, humanity utilizes a sense of humor and fun to keep pushing forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to hear and learn as much as this ziplock of neurons in my head can handle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A break from doing the dishes and an open mind to listen.
