About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sharing the powers of juggling, stilt-walking, unicycling and balloon twisting while traveling with the Vitamin C Cycling Circus

ABOUT ME

I'm just your neighborhood clown, juggler, unicycler and stilt-walker looking to meet some nice folks. Currently on bike tour with the Vitamin C Cycling Circus.

I studied ecology and eco-informatics for 6 years while selling the hours of my life to various corporate, academic and government organizations. Eventually I got tired of literally studying things to death without addressing the root causes of environmental destruction.

So I took some time off from school to study environmental justice while working in South America. I met some circus communities along the way and began to see how performance can play an integral role in education and community organizing.

Now I'm rolling around the NW United States performing and training with the Vitamin C Cycling Circus in preparation for adventures south of the border.

PHILOSOPHY

Death is my guide in life, constantly reminding me that the time I have to love and learn and grow is limited and encouraging me to keep on exploring how to live life to the fullest in this contradictory world.
