Hello! I'm a small business owner and part time teacher. It's fun to connect with people far and near. We're all different yet the same. I taught in Asia when I was young and enjoyed living differently than I was used to. We've endured so much darkness, selfishness, and fragmentation. I appreciate the ability to reach past that in a genuine way. I like the creative arts, science, and history. I'm comfortable in a group, but also enjoy active solitude in nature: hiking, biking, boating, and exploring new places! I like to build, fix things, paint and draw.
