Exploring and evaluating varied industries and businesses. I’m adept at gathering knowledge from disparate resources, sifting through it all, and distilling it into the best, most usable process. If I can’t help improve where I am, I’m going to at least change the scenery and background noise.
I see myself in soft lighting and at my best angle, and I see everyone else that way, too. I’ve never been bothered by anyone’s dark side.
I gift books that act as gateway drugs to my favorite authors. Some, but not all of which are: Gore Vidal, Shalom Auslander, Barbara Kingsolver, Mary Karr, Augusten Burroughs.
I love to travel, often alone. I love flower gardening and riding motorcycles and skateboards. I’m obsessed with islands. I paint old ladies’ nails at any senior living facility that will allow it, which is a selfish endeavor as I really enjoy listening to other people’s life stories.
