Hi!

I am 62 years old and live in a small, two-bedroom house about a quarter mile from Humboldt State University in Arcata, in Far Northern California.

Currently, I work as a property manager though I have also worked in the human services field for years. I am a long-time social activist.

Over the years, I have hitch-hiked more than 60,000 miles (~100,000 km!), through 48 of the 50 U.S. states.

I enjoy meeting new people and swapping stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have time-traveled.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: grant-writing, how to create a Community Currency system, how to build raised beds for your garden, how to quickly get grounded in a new town, painting and handyman skills, a good consensus decision-making process, how to talk to strangers, how to identify your passion and how to move towards making your living doing something you are passionate about, how to perform basic rituals and ceremonies.

I'd love to learn any language besides English.
