Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book of all time is Les Miserables.

I also like economics-related books and those related to social entrepreneurship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Went to the very edge of Victoria Falls (during the dry season, of course), leaned over, and looked straight down!

2) Skydiving

3) Saw a wild anaconda attack a dog while staying in Venezuela. I was on a medical missions trip, and a green anaconda came out of the river and attacked a puppy. One of the doctors in our group gave the dog CPR and it survived!

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the bagpipes (beginner). I can teach English, math, or economics. I can also cook a delicious stir fry.
