About Me

Born in Portland and raised in the pacific northwest. I had once thought I might leave this area of the country for afew years and try out other waters, but I landed a good job and decided to stay put. I often value stability and reliabilty over excitement, but I have been willing to pull away into the unknown moreoften now.Am I ready for a major change in my lifestyle, hmmm.... Some days yes, other days hell no! I like being rooted to a certain degree, and many times in the past it has allowed me to extend a helping hand or pullmy own or someone elses fat out of the fire, but I do grow weary of doing that for certain people (not everyone, justcertain people).I'm logically minded, but I find higher math and science exceedingly boring. I much prefer applied learning andknowledge. However, I do enjoy the 'toys' available (mp3 players, cell phones, computers, etc...) that others havecreated or contributed to the improvement of by their steadfast dedication to those fine arts I listed above.

My Interests

computers, tech toys, wine, origami, live music, sports, spontaneous road trips, and photography.

Some decisions are best implemented a bit at a time. That way you can see the reactions caused by the them, and modify or reverse course as needed.
