CURRENT MISSION

I strive for good times & good vibes. To learn, gather ideas, and connect with people!

ABOUT ME

I like to explore! I love to do just about anything outside (camping is like a vacation for me)

I get excited when conversations get deep and/or I can find some common ground with someone. Sometimes I ask obscure questions just to spark a good conversation. I think this is a good method to learning about one's personality. I like adventures, especially when they involve new food.

I like to hear about people's goals, dreams, and aspirations and how to they go about achieving them. I'm inspired by those who are brave enough to think big and take a first step, even if it's in uncertainty.

PHILOSOPHY

I admire people who can break out of their shell and express themselves, who can put things into motion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the brightest, most beautiful night sky, filled with shooting stars, in East Africa. I met the coolest dog (a white husky) along the Appalachian Trail.

Spotting a deer along the road on a mountain bend during a solo drive to Mt. Rushmore. Having my beer stolen from a rascal of a raccoon (true story, promise). Watching a moose swim in theboundary waters. Watching a moose swim in Colorado.

Getting hugged by children whom I never met in Ecuador.
