I'm a long-time traveler and enjoy seeing new places and meeting new people. I grew up a punk-rock hippie kid, and now I'm mostly an outdoorsy marine scientist kind of guy; though, I'm still super into music. I've been a vegetarian since I was 12, and I really enjoy talking eco-friendly and progressive ideas with good beer and good company.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movie: Waking life, maybe... I don't watch a ton of movies.
Favorite book: The Cruise of the Snark - Jack London, or maybe The Log From the Sea of Cortez - John Steinbeck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rebuilt the engine of my old VW van and then immediately drove it on a road-trip to northern Norway in the middle of winter with my girlfriend.

Teach, Learn, Share
