CURRENT MISSION

Change the World in Positive Ways! Be an Artist! Find my Family! You know the usual.

ABOUT ME

I am an Artist interested in Social Change and the outdoors. Most days I can be found rock climbing, swimming in the ocean/lakes with my friends, dancing, or working on some social justice scheme that involves art or a Marching Band! My artistic practice includes welding for the community, crafting silverware and bring community and art together through social practice. I currently live in Arlington MA.

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to them their own!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Watching a my friend James' Dog Tulia get chased across the village to my doorstep by the whole community of in Sazima Tanzania for stealing a goat leg from a man was was attempting to sell it by waiving it around and shouting out to potential buyers.

Couch surfing in Kigali Rwanda on a converted School Bus named Judy Hinklebottom with my dear friends from India, Nepal, Oman and Cali.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I have a lot of use-les/ful knowledge about the FAFSA . In a former life I was a college counselor for low income first generations students.

I am a rock climbing instructor, I weld, screen-print, sew and many other artistic pursuits. I can teach you any of these skills if the tools and right enthusiastic spirit are present!

I would love to learn more about cooking if you would like to teach me and I would be more than willing to share with you my skills.
