ABOUT ME

I enjoy the outdoors, art, gardening and cooking. I work in the summers in Alaska, commercial salmon fishing. I love the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I am recently out of grad school, exploring whats next in life.
Seth and I are travelling together this November. He is a computer programmer. He enjoys medicine, video games, science and a good IPA beer. We are both pretty easy-going, respectful people, with an interest in the complexities of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion and kindness to all beings. leave this place better than I found it.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Mists of Avalon might still be my favorite book. I like most music, except unnecessarily hard-core rap, techno that doesn't change or end, and country western songs that have a political message.
Movies: The Big Lebowski, Office Space, Reservoir Dogs,The Princess Bride, foreign films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alone in the wilderness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, and always want to learn and share local cuisine and culture. I can share my knowledge whenever helpful.
