Occupation Glacier Trekking Guide/Cellist/Climber/Whatever
Location Juneau, AK, United States
Introduction I'm currently working as a Helicopter Glacier Trekking Guide for Northstar Trekking, an abso-freaking-lutely amazing company, and hands down the best job I've ever had. I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself after two winters of auditioning for music graduate schools. I play cello and climb stuff, although usually not at the same time. I have been known to take pictures of ice while hanging on ropes hundreds of feet below the surface of glaciers. I own a 1988 VW van with lots of personality, a mind of it's own, and a penchant for deciding not to start at the most inopportune times. I like cheese.
Interests Music, Cello, Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Ice Climbing, Photography, Running, Backpacking
Favorite Movies Equilibrium
Favorite Music Good God, long list... Prokofiev, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, Aerosmith, more as I think of them
Favorite Books Hyperion Series by Dan Simmons, anything by Tad Williams or Peter Hamilton, the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds, anything that entertains, inspires, or challenges the mind - even better if it's doing all of those things at once
