CURRENT MISSION

Create and collect stories. Make connections. Have no regrets. Appease future-self.

ABOUT ME

A mix of Southern charm and hospitality with a progressive worldview. I have a degree in biology and a strong affinity for all things wild and natural. Sometimes I work as a bartender. Sometimes I work on small farms and rural homesteads. At all times I try to stay present in the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Purity is the opposite of integrity. The cruelest thing you can do to a person is make her ashamed of her own complexity. The stories of our lives have no morals. Any single conclusion drawn would be false; the episodes, taken together, are untranslatable, incomparable. If we are to conclude at all, we can only conclude against conclusions.
