About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, learn, learn.

ABOUT ME

My roots are mainly in Oregon where my family owns and operates a small scale organic farm. I find myself returning often to the farm. Country life has a certain gravitational pull on my thoughts and I prefer it to the usual cacophony of the city.

I think that sincerity is one of the most important attributes and humility one of the most beautiful. I try to be both of these things by always being aware of my thoughts and actions. I still like to have fun, I just enjoy life more when I think and act carefully. I try to treat every one I meet with respect and give them my full attention while they are speaking.

I have very little formal education. Until now it has been more important to me to feel like I'm shaping my life in my image and not my
parents/teachers/peers/society. Right now I am attending Prescott College. Still, if I had the chance I would visit the entire world and learn to speak every language I hear.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure what to say here but I've noticed that life seems rather pointless if your not benefiting another life form somehow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove across the US, went streaking, went homeless, cooked a meal for a friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Breath is the cord that ties the soul to the flesh. -Paramahansa Yogananda

If you chew up a plantain leaf (about 1/2' by 3',green, with veins running lengthwise, found in many lawns) and then put the paste over a bug bite or infected cut it will draw out the toxins and help with recovery.
