About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Plugging into meaningful projects; finding a home; exploring

ABOUT ME

After a few months of low-money/no-money travel I've decided to settle in Tucson for a while and learn bike mechanics.

PHILOSOPHY

What I view as fundamental is (a) respect for the earth and (b) ending oppression in all forms.
