Previous Life

Passions

Variety, perspective on my life gained from listening to others, surfing at sunset, mountain biking singletrack, taking in the great outdoors on a sun soaked day, the rhythmic calm of the ocean, natural health, flavorful vegetarian food

Favorite Trip

PROFESSIONALLY: My very first Moab Mountain Biking trip with 20 Japanese guys ranging from 20 to 65 years old. Not much english spoken, but a lot of dog-piling on whomever was the trail's latest victim.
PERSONALLY: 10 day road trip in the Flying Dutchman mobile home exploring Bryce, Zion & Moab by mountain bike with 8 guys. Does the fact that those are so similar make me 1 dimensional?

Key Possession

I'd run out of my burning house with my iPod full of photos and music—my memory and motivation.
