An honest day of hard work, a long hike to the top of a mountain or waterfall, a well prepared meal, or an interaction with a stranger are some of my favorite things.  All of these experiences invite us to pay attention and  hopefully inspires us to contribute to making the world a more joyous place to live.

A Serious Passion

 My passion lies in exploring remote places of the planet and learning about the way people use and understand their natural resources, particularly water. Exploring the ways in which cultures are impacted by their water systems and how perspectives of water influences decision making is increasingly fascinating. I am convinced that what we call wastewater is a valuable resource that needs to be more thoroughly discussed in conversations regarding a sustainable future.
