About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching for the Human in Humanity

ABOUT ME

I'm currently in between jobs and am looking for the right job and place to relocate. I'm thinking of calling Taos, NM home for a while.

One thing you should know about me, is that I am a very honest person. I'll tell you anything you want to know about me.

Early 2010 I attempted a Walk Across America, however, I could not finish due to re-injuring my right foot and ankle.

PHILOSOPHY

I tend to lean toward Buddhist and Daoist Philosophies, however there is the golden rule that is apparent in most religions - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a BS in Biology. Worked on a Master's in Biology and taught undergraduate zoology for a while.

I was a clinical laboratory scientist. I analyze and interpret blood tests. I can tell you about almost any blood test that you can think of.

I love to talk philosophy and am interested in many views... About everything. I'm a very compassionate person who will genuinely want to listen to what's going on in your world too.
