CURRENT MISSION

I work leading month-long canoe expeditions for "at-risk" youth in the Southeast United States. It is glorious and glamorous. Now, I am ready to take on seeing the world. I have a dream to dress in a toga and spar a friend inside the Coloseum in Rome..

ABOUT ME

I like to try to do new things to keep me on my toes. I have taught myself to juggle and am currently working on my new unicycle. I like people and enjoy helping people as much as possible. People who are close talkers make me nervous. I was going to go to nursing school but I laugh when I am grossed out and pretty much lost it when I sat in on my first colonoscopy...it is a great story. I am super laid back and I love to learn.

PHILOSOPHY

It is what it is.

As long as life exists
As long as sentient beings exist
So long may I too exist
To dispel the misery of the world
-Dalai Lama

I want a global perspective. I grew up in a smaller white suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, but I'm so much bigger than that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a 60 year old man do the splits at a random gym in Fairhope, Alabama. He looked like one of the most happy crazy old men I have every seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught many people to juggle, water ski, canoe, camp and much more. I would like to learn anything about anything else. I would like to know a little about a lot.
