CURRENT MISSION

to host the coolest people on the planet.
Im particularly interested in hosting farmers, visual artists, ceramicists, chefs, photographers

ABOUT ME
I work for Relay Resources, a non-profit focused on employing people with barriers to employment. I am an Account Manager in the Food co-packing branch of the business.

I have managed an volunteer-led, community garden that I initiated which is situated across the street from my house.

I have worked as a field researcher studying the Northern Spotted Owl and I loved it.

I used to be a member owner of a juice distributor called Genesis Juice Co-op.

I love co-ops. --- and I run a Facebook page called just that.

My days off are spent with my wife and daughters - gardening, readin', biking, gardening, playing guitar, & gardening.

PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy is centered around good will. I just try and put forth my most fundamental sense of caring, positivity and looking out for others. I enjoy it... life is about caring for everything.
