CURRENT MISSION I'm here to live--what's the fun in doing that alone? ABOUT ME I grew up in the small town of Westport, MA. I moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University to pursue a degree in International Business. After my freshman year, I moved to Ibagué, Colombia to teach English and perfect my spanish. In 2011, I moved to Lisbon, Portugal to perfect my Portuguese. I lived in Brazil working and studying. I arrived June 29, 2012 and returned to Boston in July 2013. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Los Angeles for 7 months. In July 2014, I returned to Boston, until the pandemic. Then, I moved to Rhode Island to raise chickens and switch careers. Alas, the corporate world called me back. I took a traveling role that brought me to Phoenix, Atlanta, Miami, and what do you know, I moved back to Boston July 2024. Boston is once again home base as I continue to see the world. PHILOSOPHY What are you waiting for?

One Amazing Thing I've Done
While living in Colombia, I backpacked for a day with some locals I became friendly with. We hiked and camped in the mountains, and got our food from a nearby farm. The view, the hike, the people, the campfire--memorable.
My Interests
I love language, people, good food, good beer, nature, thunder storms, cities, rural areas, mountains--the list goes on.
