Oregon's Finest

Store Manager

With Dharma Project my priority is to connect others. There is so much opportunity for us when we walk out of our four walls and yet we don't. I see many who limit how they connect to the world, keeping to their own personal universe and forgetting of the richness of the world around them. I feel there is a need for all of us to take notice of the people we meet in our day to day and build stronger bonds so as to help accomplish goals that otherwise seem out of reach. I can provide professional writing and printing services if you were to need any work like that to be done. Even if it was just a chance to talk I'd love to listen and if I can't help maybe I could put you in the right direction.
