ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing and open person. Initially I'm pretty shy but I can usually find common ground with anyone. I also like tofu more than I would have thought possible and I can make a great cup of coffee.

Interests

I love having adventures, being outside, riding my bike, swimming, reading, and going to concerts. In the summer I tend to my garden but I try to apply this principle of cultivation to every aspect of my life throughout the year.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite radio station is KEXP; they have incredible blues, rockabilly, roots, and country western programs. I'm also into Hawaiian music, gospel, rock n' roll, and American classical music (jazz!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whale watching near San Juan Island in Washington and living in Seattle were literally childhood dreams come true.

I can teach you a simple qigong exercise and how to make drop biscuits.
