CURRENT MISSION

to live life without having a mission

ABOUT ME

I spent 8 years traveling and living abroad and I'm in Seattle for now. I'm definitely getting itchy feet again but don't travel as much now that I have a toddler. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never take life too seriously, no one ever gets out alive anyway. I'm here for a good time not a long time!

"You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later." -Mitch Hedberg

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own." -Andy Warhol
