About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To foster joyful life that lives within earth's carrying capacity

ABOUT ME

I'm a healthy, creative and interested in exploring together a little of life's adventures and joys. I am environmentally and socially aware, liberal in my thinking, an avid outdoor person and, paradoxically, an avid reader as well. Nature offers me serenity and a spiritual center. Reading; the ability to transfer that serenity to my life, exercise, the freedom to travel through nature. I am very interested in other cultures and their perspectives, and have lived for eight years in Europe and Asia. I’m self employed in the sustainability field. On the enneagram scale, I am a 7 (Adventurer) with an 8 (Leader) wing.

PHILOSOPHY

To adventure all that the world has to offer.
