About me

Gender Male
Industry Government
Occupation US Peace Corps Volunteer
Location Zaporizhzhya, Ukraine
Introduction Raised in Potterville, MI. The only child of my wonderful parents, Carl and Mary. Graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in economics. Did the consulting thing in Chicago for 5 years, followed by brief stints in Richmond, VA and Washington, DC. A combination of more altruistic ambitions, a nagging travel bug, and general disenchantment with the corporate scene lead me to join the Peace Corps. Now serving in Ukraine until May '06 and loving every minute of it, though I wish friends and family were here to share the experience. My next chapter is still in draft form.
