About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding ways to bring together over events, coffee, projects or parties the people I know who ought to be working together and sharing the amazing burden of helping to change for the better the world we have before us.

ABOUT ME

Happy and busy with work and life, surrounded by a wonderful tribe of humans and looking to grow it constantly. Have been lucky enough to find work and opportunities to travel many places. Huge lover of learning whether its from a person, book, film or long hiking trail.

Come to Seattle, I am sure I can show you some things you will love and surprise you with all the wonder of our bizarre little city on the border of wilderness and water.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunrise at about (10 degrees F) on top of one of China's holiest mountains called TaiShan wearing an ancient Chinese army coat that I rented for $1.

Hiking in the North Cascades Wilderness of Washington with a group of my best friends for a whole week, without screens....when was the last time you had NO screens staring you in the face? It was so wonderful.

Sleeping in an alley in Copenhagen in mid Nov...wait...that really sucked.
