CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the time I have and meet interesting people along the way

ABOUT ME

Born in a small hick town in Washington State. Worked on jobs to pay for college, including 5 years managing a tanning salon. Went to a branch campus while working full time and backpacked every summer to a new country. Worked at ski resorts, studied abroad, and after finishing University joined the Peace Corps. After my time in Thailand I spent 3 years in London teaching, came back to America to give it another chance. Didn't enjoy it and tried something new. Moved to Saudi Arabia to develop school programs for a children's museum being built as part of a larger cultural center called the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't get too caught up in a personal philosophy. Try not too take myself to seriously and enjoy what I do.
