ABOUT ME

I like helping people discover Oregon, hearing stories and meeting new folks.

Born in rural Oregon, but now a neighborhood dweller. I am laid back but motivated to care. I am a promoter of wonder and I enjoy conversations surrounded by good social architecture.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to humbly enjoy people. I have much hope.
