I like taking pictures, mountains, and taking pictures of mountains. Avatar is me hanging out on a glacier while the sun rises, looking tired because I was. Header image is the peace bridge in Calgary (pre vandalism) at night with the moon looming over it.

• I'm an avid @Lucha@vernissage.photos, documenting everyday adventures and the beauty found in ordinary moments.
• I'm a lover of audiobooks, movies, escape rooms, the outdoors, and a good laugh.
• Jesus shapes how I try to live, love, and see the world; drawing from the rich traditions of Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, Baptist life, and contemplative Christianity. I’m drawn to historical theology, spiritual formation, and the quieter expressions of faith.
• I am wary of fear-based religion, culture wars, and weaponized Christianity. I believe faith should point toward the compassion, humility, and radical love of Christ rather than fear, control, or exclusion.
• I am also skeptical of hyper-spiritualized politics, populism, outrage culture, nostalgia politics, and ideological certainty. I am more interested in humility, good governance, thoughtful conversation, and practical solutions.
Always happy to connect with kind, curious people who value thoughtful conversation.

🌍 Geoscientist | Environmental Geospatial Modeler Exploring how landscapes think — through data, chemistry, and terrain. I work at the crossroads of hydrogeochemistry, remote sensing, and GIS-based environmental modelling. Mostly self-directed research: from asking real-world questions to building geospatial models and visual narratives that connect science and society. I’m not a “tool user” — I’m a systems thinker with a geochemical compass and a data-driven map.
