CURRENT MISSION

See. Meet. Do

ABOUT ME

I love life. Incredible beauty exists all around us and I try to find it every day. I enjoy traveling. I get stir-crazy when in one place for too long. I really like having fun and doing things on a whim. I conduct educational research as my day job. The majority of my traveling revolves around seeing live music and/or seeing and exploring beautiful natural wonders. I feel weird trying to write about myself because I do not think anyone is truly self-aware..

once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: grateful dead history, how to constantly lose your cellphone, argumentation skills, quantitative data analysis
Learn: everything I can, some of the high points being: to play the guitar, speak multiple languages, to sail, where the F we came from/the nature of existence, your story
Share: love, food, tasty beverages and treats, a toothbrush if you are a close enough friend [read: I do not immediately deem your hygiene to be below the “I’d share a toothbrush with you” level]
