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.
