This site is the result of the ruminations that have at one point or another found their way inside my head. I am interested in things ranging from photography to farming; community development to cooking. Being raised in Phoenix, Arizona, I have a great appreciation for sunshine and outdoor activities. Following High School I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan to attend Calvin College where I graduated in May of 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies. Due to a number of circumstances I have decided to stay in Grand Rapids to live and work.
