While work can be interesting, my real love is the outdoors. I spend countless hours rock climbing, skiing, mt biking...whatever I can find to be outdoors. Seattle offers all that with very little commuting...so it was a no brainer to pick up and move. We are surrounded by snow capped mountains and on a clear day it is an amazing view. Yes, it does rain some and I am pretty darn happy when the sun comes out.

Since I find the outdoors to be such an amazing place I have become involved in taking at risk youth into the wilderness. It is wonderful and crazy all at the same time and made me realize how many kids out there just need someone to provide some support and friendship.

The rest of my time is spent traveling with my partner in crime (recent husband, eekkkss) Chris and our crazy dog.
