Writer by soul, gardener by hand, and student of life by choice. I read widely, run often, lift heavy, and unwind with a glass of fine whiskey or wine. I love history, languages (currently German), and deep conversations about culture, faith, shared wonder, and anything in between. I believe we’re here to connect and to learn from each other through curiosity. I'm someone who believes in strong roots and open minds and am most alive when I'm growing. Whoever you are that's reading this, I can't wait to meet you and learn from you.
