CURRENT MISSION

To live authentically, joyfully, and in tune with Mother Nature, and humanity. Author, historian, and theologian.

ABOUT
Love to take the road less traveled and see new places. I enjoy craft beer, organic foods, and the natural world. In a city I want a place with good eats, nice park areas, and a place to drink good beer where I can watch English premier league matches. I fell in love with Liverpool Football club when I lived in England from 1997-1999.
