CURRENT MISSION To maximize my current happiness while recognizing assisting others is the best way to accomplish this. ABOUT ME I've lived in Portland about seven years after a steady migration north post being born/raised in Southern California. I can be quiet, but I enjoy people. Hobbies include but aren't limited to, seeing music, food, drink, being outside, camping, hiking, backpacking, swimming, gym, marathons, wine tasting, beer tasting, conversing, and listening. PHILOSOPHY A sense of ones smallness and that everything, including us, is very temporary.
