CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting and creative people, and learn something along the way!

ABOUT ME

In no particular order: I am good at ripening avocados. Scrabble players tremble at the thought of me. My salsa dancing skills are supremely sub-par and thoroughly ridiculous. My drivers license ends in a prime number (2). Want to build a chicken coop? I’m your man. I speak 4 languages, but not all at the same time. I used to dislike peanuts, but upon serious consideration changed my mind. I have taught middle school in the toughest school district in America. I know how to use the internets. I love ideas, skills, discussion, scuba diving, New Orleans, and pretending to know how to yodel.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm working on this.
