CURRENT MISSION

It's nice to use a paper map that folds into a mess, and to keep time with an analog watch.

ABOUT ME

I like simple things, the sound of lapping water and the crisp air when the sun is strong. I read, everything, anywhere. I run in the morning light. Oh, and I take photos. Lots.

PHILOSOPHY

The most fun is had with modesty, without distraction and with singular intention. And perhaps a few drops of rain...
