CURRENT MISSION Get through life, make the (little) bucks, live happy. ABOUT ME I currently work for a non-profit that advocates for sustainable agriculture located just a short walk from our home. My free time is spent actively--lots of cycling, swimming in local lakes, skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, camping, etc. While I've only lived in Minneapolis for a short time, I've had friends here for years, so am pretty familiar with fun happenings. There's plenty of great music, a great folk dance scene, group singing/instrumental opportunities, ample potlucking, amazing parks (one just a block from our house), and incredible food (lots of cute cafes in our neighborhood). PHILOSOPHY All things in moderation.
