I love rivers. and rocks. and fish. and the woods. and my family and friends. and Siberian Huskies. I grew up in the woods on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Right now I'm stuck in the city finishing some kind of advanced degree in Geology. I am a riparian eco-geologist, or something like that. My favorite thing to do is to restore streams and rivers that people have screwed up. I also like swimming and fossil hunting and picking mushrooms and hiking and fishing and making rockets and making beer and cooking and gardening and solving random problems and helping people. Right now most of my time is spent reconstructing the late holocene sediment accumulation history of Lake Ozette (which unfortunately doesn't mean that I spend very much time at Lake Ozette).
