Hi! I'm Jo and I adore critters -- just like my Mom does! I also have a natural penchant for being prepared, as well as a deep respect for risk management principles - thank you, Dad!
I have a broad knowledge of the housing industry, and am fascinated with emergency response and disaster management.
I'm fervent about matters of dignity, respect, equity, and justice for all - for historically underserved and marginalized peoples, as well as for our nonhuman friends.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
We need another and wiser and perhaps more mystical concept of animals… We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man.
In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught up with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth. |
Henry Beston, The Outermost House
PERSONAL ASPIRATION
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly dog <or cat, or goat, or llama...>.
