It’s fairest to say I’m equal parts nerd, sporty and creative. Books and fashion are two of my passions, but you won’t find me hanging out at malls. I enjoy being outdoors and working with my hands--can wield a hammer or sewing machine with equal delight. Some of my favorite projects include building a beach volleyball court for a youth camp (in 48hrs!) and renovating a downtown coffee shop with a group of friends. As for the outdoors, we’d have a great time hiking or sailing but sleeping outdoors isn’t quite my thing. My friends will tell you I’m a steady mix of idealism, strength and tenderness. I have a quiet side and can be a bit shy at first, but my playfulness emerges quickly. I'm playful, easy going and fun to be with. So I've been told. I love to Ballroom dance. West Coast Swing, Salsa. You name it I've probably done it. Music is the air to my soul. I think the unconditional love of a dog is like no other. Unless you fall to the ground wiggling all around the moment I come home

What keeps me grounded day to day? Humor and faith. Friends and family give me plenty of both. Is that something you identify with?
