I'm a walker. Period.
I like walking in my local woods, and also driving all around my home state of Oregon to find new spots.
I like walking because it's something that I can do with family and friends, but I also walk by myself so that I can think through ideas, problems, and scenarios.
NODE Project
One thing that I enjoy is meeting and speaking with other people, so if you'd like to be in touch definitely reach out.
Easiest way to reach me is by email - jimcupples@gmail.com
Future Nostalgia
