I'm intense.
I'm quirky, driven, and human.
I'm scatterbrained but increasingly self disciplined.
I don't pretend to know how to write or speak in hopes of appealing to others, but rather focus on impeccability.

In the spring I'll be going back to school For Environmental Geochemical Science.
December marks the end of my internship at a nature preserve, The start of a much delayed trip, getting my WFR certification, re-entering serving part time, building my business and a million other decisions each packed with their own long term rewards, consequences, and opportunity costs. Man do I love being an adult!

Avoiding self-qualifying statements.

I smile. a lot.

I really enjoy psychology, business, and just about any practical literature out there. I'm a huge fan of fiction books that can hold on to my attention. An abridged laundry list might look something like this: Nudge, Tipping Point, Outliers, The Magic of Thinking Big, The Things They Carried, The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Picture of Dorian Gray, A Walk in the Woods, Into the Wild, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

My taste is very eclectic and shifts periodically. I have a soft spot for the blues; Songs and dance. Indie, blue grass,and classic, alternative and grunge rock are old favorites too. Maritime, Tallest Man on Earth, Third Eye Blind, Dispatch, Bon Iver, Decemberists and Band of Horses, Leadbelly, Pink Anderson, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Old Crow medicine Show, Yonder Mountain String Band, Cake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Jimi Hendrix Experience are some of many.

Movies and shows are mostly vacant from my life, but I've seen a fair share in the past. I loved watching Mad Men and have been sucked into The Walking Dead. Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hanks, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman are some of my favorite actors and have seen most of their movies several times over. A list of favorite movies will be added in the near future.

When it comes to food, I aim for healthy and don't put limits on the ethnicity of my meals. Japanese, Mexican, Ethiopian, and Italian are favorites.

"How can I do this better?" or "There's got to be a better way!"

I'm an information sponge, so most of my nights have been spent playing banjo, learning languages, reading about entirely obscure topics (like bananas! they are so interesting. Seriously), and developing my next great adventure. A Friday night is just another night for the time being. As of today I've forgotten what day it is for the 4th day in a row, I'll have you know.

I really like organic chemistry. Ask me in person about functionally groups and benzene derivatives and you may very well experience the most expressive and animated individual sitting near you.
I also love to dance.

You like being outdoors, animals, helping people and find the good in everything you come into contact with. You smile contagiously and let people know how you feel and do not act out of spite. You have goals and are outgoing. You have dreams and are on your way to making them happen. You cultivate positive relationships with everyone that you come into contact with and are passionate about making each day better than the previous one.
