Bio:

Well now, a little about me...
First, I grew up with dirty toes and fingertips in the Appalachian Mountains.
Second, I have two feet that love to journey all across the globe and be an upside down yogi.
Third, I have two blue eyes that love to see the sunset and moonrise at the same time.
Fourth, I have two hands that have learned that serving others makes them feel free and alive.
Fifth, I have a brain that can really get geeked out on science, nature, and occasionally numbers. (Sometimes my ego wants to join in here and I have to tame it down.)
Sixth, and most important, I have a heart. It often goes thump, thump....thump, thump...especially when I hold a gluten-free cookie and sit near the edge of an ancient volcano with my husband, two kids, and old pal Tucker.
