CURRENT MISSION

Exploring, sharing, living authentically.

ABOUT ME

Quiet, friendly, respectful, curious, trustworthy, passionate. I enjoy simple pleasures: a summer swim in Lake Washington, cooking with friends, the view from the top of a mountain I've just climbed. I'm fascinated by new people and cultures.
