Hello, and welcome to my ever-changing webpage. The big change du jour is that, after 5 years of living it up Colorado-style, I relocated to Seattle last year to get more than my fair share of rain. If nothing else, it allows me to see a very different part of the country. Drop me a line if you are in the neighborhood; I know my way about town by now!
I was born at the very end of the 1970s, missing disco by a couple years, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which coincidentally is also the birthplace of the nuclear bomb. For your reference, New Mexico conveniently fills that spot on the map between Phoenix and Texas. And to answer your first question, yes, I have seen snow, lots of it, and we do have grass lawns in New Mexico. As for your second question, yes, I do indeed glow in the dark; it makes getting to sleep especially difficult.
I spent an idyllic childhood among the mountains and nuclear missiles of northern New Mexico and graduated from Los
Alamos High School in 1997. In the fall of 1997, I entered Penn State as a wide-eyed freshman out to explore the East Coast. After five long years in school, I graduated in 2002, deeming my experiment Back East a success (conclusion: there is no way in hell I want to live there), and was released kicking and screaming upon an unsuspecting world. This means I am free to do my damage on traffic, putting orange barrels in your way and making traffic signals turn red just for you.
I enjoy hiking and backpacking, skiing, model trains, jazz, search and rescue, dogs, cooking, tennis, beer, politics, volleyball and various combinations of these (although tennis and dogs does not work very well). Plus climbing the occasional mountain, skiing, biking and canoeing. You can begin to see why I am better suited to life in Colorado.

In my (incredibly rare) spare time, I wile away my time with the:
I also have a 6-year-old golden retriever named Orli that is jealous about the amount of time I spend at the above activities, and carefully shreds my garbage when I do not spend enough time with her. You can often-times find us
jogging around Wash Park in downtown Denver or climbing mountains together. It constantly amazes me how much we men will do for a blonde...I bought her a nice house in West Wash Park in 2004 so that she could be close to the park and harass the native wildlife.
