CURRENT MISSION

to flop on faraway couches and have an interesting person on my couch who eventually leaves

ABOUT ME

I've travelled a lot for an American. Music, food and skiing are my passions. I love all kinds of music, except rap and Gregorian chanting. I play piano and sing, almost every day for over 40 years, but am too lazy a student to be great. I feel very lucky to live in Anchorage, which despite it's lack of planning and ugly buildings, has got to have the most beautiful skyline of any city. Everyone should see these mountains before they die.

PHILOSOPHY

I've always felt I should see and do as much as possible as soon as possible, because life really is too short. It's very strange to be halfway through life and feel as if you've just gotten started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing to the end of the Aleutian Islands is what others would probably think was most amazing, but going to Jerusalem was my favorite.
