CURRENT MISSION

Pay attention to the things no one else does. Be too intense. Get carried away. Achieve that which they said you can never do. Always question why. Learn from everything. Take control of your decisions. Never stop thinking.

ABOUT ME

I moved back to Akron, Ohio after living in San Francisco for a year. My Dad finally lost his battle with cancer on July 22nd 2010, which is what has brought me back home. Now being back in Ohio to take care of my Mom, I know that Akron will always be my home no matter what. I love the West Coast more than anything but it is not my home. Know I am focusing on the arts collective the RCN CAVE and modular synthesis.

After graduating from Kent State, I moved by bicycle from my hometown Akron, Oh to San Francisco, Ca. This was not a vacation but a way to move and start a new chapter of my life. I rode against cancer, which took my Dad and is plaguing my mom, oil and car usage, animal based diets, consumerism, excess, stagnation, and winter. There is another way to live besides the common American way; I showed this by example rather than by preaching.

I'm in love with flawed logic and bad ideas. I sit in dimly lit rooms and listen to instrumental music while pretending I am in far off places with far out agendas. People don't think enough. I think too much.
I will ride my bike anywhere and anytime. If it wasn't for it, I would lose my mind.

PHILOSOPHY

I realize now all I need is honesty and that is all I can promise to anyone. Never stop paying attention, especially to the ugly things. Remember how to say what you think especially when it is difficult. The toughest thing to do is to say what needs to be said when it needs to be said. With that in mind, the questions are almost always more important than the answers.
Everybody gets a little lost sometimes.
