Bio

A brief synopsis of my life:

I grew up in central Ohio and went to school in a small town. The community there taught me to live, love, and learn - to have an unquenched desire to explore and do more. Now, I travel at every opportunity (see my Intsa page) read in every spare second (see some of my favs) and sip coffee in quiet moments. I attended the University of Pittsburgh between trips and jobs, where I studied Chemical Engineering. Then there are a few more lines beyond that one on my resume - like Studio Arts and Product Design.

You can also find me making, breaking, and rebuilding everything from household furniture to delicate electronics. Curiosity drives my determination to understand. Creativity encourages my flexible mindset. And Compassion fuels my tenacity and will to endure. I’m always happy to discuss technology, sociology, business, culture, and occasionally, even philosophy. And during it all, I’m clinging to each and every present moment, savoring the blessing that it is.
