CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to explore and to meet as many new people as possible. I am going to do some big things people!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Michigan but moved out to Colorado for graduate school. I love the mountains. I also love meeting new people, books, movies, music, exercising, sociology, environmental studies, continental philosophy, Zen Buddhism, geography and maps, and wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Somewhere between trying to get over and helping others try to get over. I was heavily influenced by Chan/Zen Buddhism when I was younger.
