I live in Portland Oregon - quite possibly the greatest place to live in all of the United States.

I was bit by the travel bug as a child and have seen most of our 50 states and a few countries. I spent a year living in Bolivia as an exchange student and later returned for a two month backpacking / hitch-hiking adventure.

In addition to this website, I've built a site to house my photos from China - including many from The Great Wall. You'll find that site by clicking here.

These websites began as a way to share my photos with friends and family, but once something hits the web... well... who knows where it goes. That's a beautiful thing really. Sharing ideas and experiences is one of the greatest things people can do.

Feel free to email me - even if just to say hello & let me know you dropped by.
