About me…

Rowing bum – photo by Hazel

I’m a ski bum, a rower, a mother and an engineer.  In any order.

I also like sailing, salmon, music and learning new things.

I live in northern Vermont with John, Finn and Hazel. We have a dog and a bunch of barn cats.  We have an apple orchard, a small maple grove with a timberframe sugar shack, a greenhouse and a chicken coop.

Above all, I optimize my life to maximize fun…


In October 2018,  I decided to quit my job (as a seriously geeky engineer) to see if i could ski 150 days in a season, in Vermont.

I helped Hazel setup her own artist website, and in return, she designed my website logo. It’s a very cool logo and represents well my love of mountains and water.
