I support WorldOregon because more than ever, we need to be in consistent conversation about the issues that will impact our lives and the lives of our children and communities.  And we have to foster this conversation not only among adults, but, as WorldOregon does, with youth in schools.

A favorite place to be is walking around my neighborhood, Overlook, in North Portland with my wife, children, and dogs.

A place on my wishlist is Vienna, Austria in the holiday season. During the pandemic I watched a lot of Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain and a winter spent in Austria has now inspired me to add to the bucket list.

A person who inspires me is Mitt Romney. Honestly, haven’t always agreed with him but I have appreciated his commitment to democratic principles and ideals in the past few years.
