CURRENT MISSION

Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons, It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

ABOUT ME

I grew up with dirt on my knees and flowers in my hair.

A collector of tattoos, recipes, the printed word, and cats. I am a nomadic twenty-something with a penchant for good beer, banjos, bare feet, and blanket forts.

Purveyor of peaches.

PHILOSOPHY

You should always have hair that rivals your cat's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most striking moments to me are the quiet, unassuming ones. Magnificent meteor showers, watching the sun set and rise from the same place, body surfing the sun warmed ocean. Any time you can hold still and hear the universe sing.
