My passion for discovery overlaps between my work-life and personal-life and thus I have found myself traveling the world looking at rocks for both research and play! I enjoy growing my own produce, fermenting various foods and drinks, exploring variations in topography both on foot and with a rope, and conquering alien worlds in books and board games.
