About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and experience. To love and grow.

ABOUT ME

I've been married since 2013, a baby born March 2016. We have 3 dogs at the moment, so you've got to be ok with that to stay with us. Given the baby, we'd prefer families.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live the questions. On some far and distant day you will come into your answers."

-Rilke.

But for now, Live and Love the questions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sunrise over the New Mexico mountains on a 30 mile pilgrimage I did one April. I wanted to stop walking and stare for days. Darn things, sunrises-- they only last so long.
