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.
