CURRENT MISSION

To walk the earth like Caine from Kung Fu.

ABOUT ME

Team builder. Venture philanthropist. World Changer. I have personally recycled over 75 tons of post-industrial glass waste and placed it in the homes of people around the world. I live in one of the poorest and most beautiful places in the US. I create jobs, and we all work our asses off. I don't really party or stay out late, but am a very well-read and literate person who is a great help in all endeavors.

PHILOSOPHY

The Oath of Hypocrates: First, do no harm.

Each One, Teach One.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Great Dane saved me from a burning house. We got out, lost everything, and still had each other. He amazes me every day, as I raised him from a kitten. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught glassblowing to over 3000 people in conjuction with the Cheekwood Museum, the Watkins Institute of Art and Design, and the Seaside Institute. I want to learn about anything that anyone is willing to teach, in the interests of furthering the process of the Socratic Method.
