CURRENT MISSION

live well, with others.

ABOUT ME

Generally from the South/Southwest U.S.A., I moved a lot growing up. I keep myself occupied with a lot of things, so right now that includes learning about plants, agriculture, and food culture; whittling; bikes, and ukulele. I like reading, but learning by doing is even better. I seek challenges to grow, like how some plants bear their best fruit or flowers under stress...

Also, I often wear a knit cap.

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to follow my passions, and always remain open to new ideas and realities. This is, as I am, a work in progress.
I believe that people truly reach their full potential in relationships with other people and the world around; I try to live with that in mind.

Interests

the natural environs, food + cooking, road trips, biking everywhere. MUSIC! languages(japanese/french next?). The desert, cities, strong characters. design of - and the possibility for - worlds not yet seen (though perhaps felt). metaphors and patterns.
