About Me

I love rivers. and rocks. and fish. and the woods. and my friends. and Siberian Huskies. I grew up in the woods on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Right now I'm stuck in the city finishing some kind of advanced degree in Geology. I am a riparian eco-geologist, or something like that. My favorite thing to do is to restore streams and rivers that people have screwed up. I also like swimming and fossil hunting and picking mushrooms and hiking and fishing and making rockets and making beer and cooking and gardening and solving random problems and helping people. Right now most of my time is spent reconstructing the late holocene sediment accumulation history of Lake Ozette (which unfortunately doesn't mean that I spend very much time at Lake Ozette).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people who aren't fake. I want to meet friendly animals. Especially dogs. Especially Siberian Husky dogs. I also would like to meet my soulmate. Who hopefully is not a dog. My soulmate should be a person who is not fake. But she has to like dogs. Especially Siberian Huskies. And she should like the outdoors too, especially the wild part and the part where we decide to hop off the trail and hike up the stream instead. But if she doesn't then that's probably ok too.
