I'm a grad student studying Plant Ecology with dreams of becoming a professor somewhere near Seattle, my favorite town on earth. I'm interested in basically everything and love to teach. I live with my wife, Janel, and two daughters, Hannah and Ginny. Seafood! It's been a bit of a challenge for me, but I'm still learning! Grilled Anything - I've really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of grilling. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of great cooks in my family and likewise, not many traditions. I'd love to start building some traditions with my own family, especially for holidays. Salmon Chowder and Mushroom Soup! I finally made something that was really tasty! Arghh... yeah....
