Experience

I've been an instructor in every position I've held in life; from guiding rafts to leading scuba dives to navigating clients through the back-country. School comes naturally and I wanna help other people feel that way. I received a 31 on my ACT despite no preparation and an abundance of information dense classes at the university level have spurred on the acquisition of knowledge. I'd love to show others what I've come to know about the natural world and our place in it, including the workings of genetics and microbiology.

Hobbies

While I certainly miss the warm embrace of the Hawaiian sun everyday, I've found a lot of beauty outdoors here in Oregon to enjoy. I also enjoy, sometimes obsessively, staying informed on global events through a variety of media outlets. I find myself engaged in the often monotonous political arena and reading informative books regarding key components of the driving forces in society. Aside from that I look forward to fly fishing this spring and making it at least once to Mt. Hood for a day of snowboarding.
