CURRENT MISSION

To explore brave new places... to go boldly where many men have gone before, but to see it in a new light.

ABOUT ME

I got a Masters degree in water resources engineering and now have a job with the US Army Corps of Engineers (we run a lot of the dams in the Pacific Northwest). I have a passion for studying water, and feel it is a basic right of people to have access to clean water. I'm interested in the socio-political aspect of international water rights. But I like to talk about lots of other stuff too ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

New food, new adventures, new places, new people, new sounds, new memories, new smells, new tastes, new things!

I like to inspire people to try new things. I like to do things simply because I don't want to do them, because I know it will help me grow as a person.
