About Me

..
So after spending a year in New Zealand schooling, working, snowboarding and traveling, I headed home for two weeks only to walk out the door again for a three month stint in Europe...didn't happen. Got to Europe, hung out in Paris for two weeks, then Greece for ten days. Decided I should go home for a while and stop, so I bought a ticket back to California. Flew to London, hung out there for 10 days, had an AMAZING time with the Aussies, and didn't want to leave! But now I'm in the Bay Area, working, chillin', doing it all for who knows how long...
I care about changing the world. I always hated politics growing up, but as I got older, I realized it was more frustration with the corruption, and find that now I care so much and put so much energy into politics. I'm a visionary, I want to change the world. Water is the most valuable thing one the planet, and it is far more scarce and threatened than oil. We need to realize this and ACT. I have begun to turn my Earth Sciences education towards focusing on water quality: testing, remediation, access to freshwater, as well as building wells. My goal is to play a role in assisting communities (particularly in developing countries) gain access to fresh water.
If you don't know me, I don't know why you're looking at my page, but...I like problem solving. I love math and science and learning. I like questioning why things are they are, what makes them like that, and then I'll usully try to describe it simply (as in creating a math problem...kinda weird, but good fun!). Yeah...span.blacktext12 {color:transparent;visibility:visible !important;background-color:transparent;background-image:url
