Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hey, I got out of Idaho...time to see the world!
ABOUT ME
Currently in Germany working on low-cost solar cells and trying to learn about this country's progressive energy infrastructure. At the same time, I want to soak up all of the cultural experiences I can. Trying to travel around as much as possible.
I looove to swim. There is nothing better than running your hand over the surface of water. Jumping into a cold pool in the morning reawakens my spirits!
Wish I knew how to play the cello (some day) because of its rich sound and power. Started playing the violin when I was younger because my brother did. Still do and really enjoy it (a release) but didn't bring it to Germany :(
Oak trees are my favorite thing to look at, read/eat in. I tried making a sculpture of one in pottery class...very difficult! Should have taken torque more into consideration
I finally have time to think and explore! Discovering more about myself all the time.
PHILOSOPHY
I wrote a my philosophy of life 5 years ago and wow, has it changed! Therefore, can't write one now...could change in 4 minutes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was in Boulder, Colorado walking down the main pedestrian thoroughfare when I happened by an old hippie playing the accordion and singing opera. He was good!
The best part came when an older couple walked by and the lady came up next to him and began singing the accompanying woman's part. Her voice was beautiful but the magnitude of how spontaneous this wonderful thing happened made me smile for weeks afterward.
Teach, Learn, Share
whatever I can. Renewable energy is big in my life right now.
