ABOUT ME

I'm from the US, born in NYC but I grew up in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon (Portland and Eugene). About to move to Oaxaca, Mexico to work for a microfinancing nonprofit, En Via.

I really love people and this planet, I am curious and always learning and interested in ... you!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, of all genres. Right now I'm really into: Fischerspooner, Broken Bells, Crystal Castles, Mimosa. I can do uunnntzz and booms of all flavors all night.

Books... Paulo Coehlo feeds my soul while Isabel Allende fuels my spirit.

Movies -- I like. I love movies that teach me something, good cinematography is a must and just enough sex, drugs and rock'n'roll to keep things interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A sunrise as seen from the Temple in Black Rock City, Nevada at Burning Man. The sunset from the hills of the Albaicin in Granada, Spain. A meteor shower cascading over me on Larch Mountain, Oregon, USA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more about gardening, growing food for myself and others.
About constellations.
How to brew beer.

And I can teach you how to make one damn fine pie.
