About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling, Exploring, Meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

Easy going with an interest in travel and culture. Love conversation especially over a coffee or maybe a beer. I studied ceramics at university and truly love the craft. The only major misfortune about my current location and employment is not having the opportunity to work in cermaics studio. I've dabbled in a lot of things ranging from yoga to woodworking; everyday I learn something new about myself.

I guess the only things I can say for certain is I love working with my hands and with people. I like trying to understand other's passions and sharing in them if I can.

If you're in the area let me know. I'll try to help if I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Learn.

I'm always interested in learning new things. Happy to listen to stories and experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite trips was during University. What was originally planned as a backpacking trip turned into a series of misadventures. In the end a friend and I hitchhiked through Eastern Kentucky for a few days. We met some great people along the way and have some awesome stories.
