ABOUT ME

Well, if you asked my friends, they would say that I am always busy. In my defense, I would say I like to seek out adventures and take opportunities when they present themselves.
:D
I'm light-hearted, like to get to know others and smile often. Of course, I'd never say no to a cup of coffee or a drink with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Always give the other person a chance, they may surprise you.

Most issues and arguments arise from misunderstanding, try to gain common ground before you move forward.

Interests

I love to run and if I had my way, I would spend all my time outside. My best memories have been on long distance bike trips, backpacking, waterskiing, camping, and doing crazy races.
Sunny days make me smile.
And meeting new people is always fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am an avid reader. If I start reading a book, I usually do not put it down until I have finished it. So please, if you have any recommendations, let me know! I love to talk books with others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While I studied abroad in 2013, I did a 70.3 Ironman in Eastern Italy. Phenomenal experience!
