CURRENT MISSION

To soak up as much of this life as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going baker who studied illustration in college. I'm very mild mannered and often quiet, but I love new places and new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"To touch the cup with eager lips and taste, not drain it....
To hold the present close -- not questioning hereafter;
To have enough to share -- to know the joy of giving;
To thrill with all the sweets of life -- is living."

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have very discriminating tastes. I read a lot of books from the 1800's and contemporary young adult fiction. I love Star Trek and listen to lots of folksy music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a week traveling in India. It's still a little like a dream and I can't believe I was lucky enough to experience it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been working in kitchens for about 16 years now. I am a very skilled baker/pastry chef, and a pretty damn good cook too.
I am also a watercolourist with lots of life drawing skills. I don't spend as much time with art as I'd like to these days
