CURRENT MISSION

Solve problems and have fun

ABOUT ME

I'm from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and I moved to a St. Louis for college. I work in an architectural office whose projects don't address the needs of the world. I am interested in the needs of the world, the urban conditions of failing cities, reintroducing good values and nature into our urban fabric, and using urban space in new and creative ways. I work with the local Architecture for Humanity chapter on various projects around the city, which are really fun and interesting. I enjoy traditional crafts and new technologies. I also feel an undying respect and awe at the construction and shaping of skateboards and violins.

PHILOSOPHY

I strongly dislike cars and what they have done to our world.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I want to share thoughts about the cities that I am traveling to, I can make bread, and I want to learn how to make better bread.
