CURRENT MISSION

ride bikes with nice people

ABOUT ME

I am living in Portland OR now and unfortunately find myself fitting some westcoast stereotypes, meaning I ride my bike everywhere, love coffee, drink PBR, knit. But really beyond that though you'll find me to be an open and caring person who is down to earth and not flaky. I really enjoy meeting new and different people, sharing stories and having fun. People are what life is all about.

PHILOSOPHY

I just try to be respectful of everyone I meet and take some time every now and then to step back and reflect and laugh at myself and the world around me. People can be quite ridiculous
