There's not that much interesting
to say about me, I grew up in Oregon on a wine grape
vineyard, went to a small school in a town of about 1500
people and now I'm living in Oxford after having spent some
time in China. The pictures on the website do a better job
telling my history than I can write, so just wander through
them. The content below is shamelessly ripped off of my
facebook page, but it'll give you at least an idea about
me.
