CURRENT MISSION

Personally surveying as much of the lithosphere as I am able

ABOUT ME

I fancy myself easy to get along with, interested in the world, and others. I try to stay outside as much as possible; there are a lot of places to marvel at, trails to blaze, bars to enjoy, and paths to hike.

PHILOSOPHY

If there aren't dirt paths left in your boots, slap on the slippers.

Interests

Books, brewing beer, the (superlatively) great outdoors, playing a smattering of bluegrass instruments incompetently, coffee, spicy food, and flannel.
