Hobbies
I am interested in philosophy, ethics, equity and education. I like using the Socratic method to gain a better understanding of difficult ideas and co-exploring concepts. I like to play disc golf and ultimate frisbee. I have traveled fairly extensively in Europe. I love music (who doesn't?): Jazz, blues, funk, soul, classic rock, bluegrass, folk, etc... I am interested in ecology, farming, sustainability, and would classify myself a conservationist. I come from a family of educators. I have a firm belief that learning can be fun and rewarding even when it is difficult.
