CURRENT MISSION

Need to see this world before it hurts to walk.

ABOUT ME

This is a hard question! Everyone always has so much to say about themselves, that it's hard to distill into a succinct answer. I suppose that I'm all about optimism. I think it's a good way to live.

PHILOSOPHY

One life to live; make it count for you and those around you.

Favorite Quotes:
"In these downtown urban neighborhoods, many people carry big strap-over-the-shoulder satchels; although they may be architectural assistants and audio engineers, they want you to think they are really bike messengers. They congregate at African bistros where El Salvadoran servers wearing Palestinian kaffiyehs serve Virginia Woolf wannabes Slovakian beer."

-David Brooks in On Paradise Drive
