ABOUT ME

We have lived in Corvallis OR since 2014. We have two amazing boys- Salish and Sheppard. The adventure continues. Our newest project is getting 21 foot sailboat ready for the sea.

Brian and I have been married since Feb. 2014, together since 2008. We have traveled around the world together, including kayaking in Alaska, driving a van across the Al-can highway, spending four months in Honduras, working in medical clinics in Kenya, going to BurningMan and Afrikaburn. We have many more adventures ahead of us!

Our hobbies include hiking, camping, crafts, biking, mountaineering, traveling...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As I traveled around Honduras, there was this small orphanage/malnutrition center with the most precious children. They all yelled, "amigas, amigas!" everytime they saw us coming and gave us great big hugs. I instantly loved them and wanted to adopt them.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." -Kahlil Gibran
