The Wayfinding Creed: We believe there’s more than one way to do life. And one definition of success is not enough. Too often the choice posed is what college to pick. The real choice is what life to pick. We FIND the freedom to choose when we quiet the voices of others’ expectations. Learning emerges from curiosity. Education should stoke it, not cure it. We favor adventure and challenge over comfort and ease. W e s t r e t c h. We are humans to be cultivated, not objects to be sorted. We value students over edifice. And crafting by hand over assembling by line. College and community should be woven together. We will learn, we will teach, we will serve, we will explore...together. The line between the real world and school -- between life and work -- is imaginary. The future is uncertain. That’s good. Each person has distinct potential. Let’s not waste it. All people deserve the chance to grow without soul-crushing debt. Education is an investment that we share. Because education is our chance to make the world better. What you do with your life matters to more than just you. When we each live life on purpose, we all thrive.

Math education and sailing, not necessarily in that order.

Family, good friends, good food, great experiences, seeing the world through eyes of another, my camera, endless brainstorming, innovative and creative business ideas, all things creative.
