Professionally I am a Program Manager for an expedition travel company in Seattle, where we send people to remote and pristine destinations either by land or very small ship. We have recently begun a carbon offsetting program and we are active members of several conservation tour organizations as well as award winning member of the Better Business Bureau. I have an extensive background in international travel and health development work (as a former Peace Corps volunteer) and have subsequently spent a good portion of my life ranging and living all over the planet. I am an active member of the Burning Man and local arts, theatre & dance communities as well as a professional vocalist and composer. I am keenly interested in sustainable living and progressive intentional communities and hope someday to raise a family as such with my fantastic partner. I graduated from dear old Hampshire College in 1994 with a liberal arts degree and a concentration in historiography and writing.
