About Me

CURRENT MISSION

build community with new, world-fixing co-conspirators :)

ABOUT ME

recently relocated to portland, and for the last 8 months have been deeply integrating with an amazing community of change-makers focused on social justice, new economy, free higher education, positive community projects, and radical organizing.

through my work in this community i have come to realize my particular place and role as a conscious steward of this planet, applying my natural talents toward building an open-source system of human organization and moneyless exchange.

now with the summer rolling in, my studies in this area are turning outward, ideas are going active, and projects are becoming participatory. it's game-on mode!

PHILOSOPHY

listen deeply, take your time, stay positive & never fear

every experience is worth it

the unified field

Music, Movies, and Books

music: i like a bit of everything, but in terms of play-count, most is melodic electronic, ambient and/or beat driven, sometimes noisy, other times quiet, sometimes funk, sometimes grunge, blues, piano music, nature sounds. there's a time/place for everything!

movies: Bruce Lee, Alien, The Abyss, The Fountain, Contact, Cool Runnings, Spaceballs, Life Aquatic, Blade Runner, Tron, Fifth Element, Stargate, Star Trek, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Spirited Away, Paprika, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Baraka, radical documentaries

reading: non-fiction truth and disclosure, David Wilcock, Nassim Haramein, Graham Hancock, Michael Tellinger, Steven Greer, Bruce Lipton, Thich Nhat Hahn, Law of One.

fiction-wise i love Haruki Murakami's novels, Jack Pendarvis is really funny, and i picked up this scifi fantasy series recently, called The Snow Queen which is really good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

it's amazing that i am alive

Teach, Learn, Share

along the way i have developed an amateur understanding of unified field theory (physics), as explained by Nassim Haramein, and just may be able to communicate some of this profound information.

playing drums has been a passion of mine for about 15 years. so it is within my capacity to teach noise-making!! this is fun.

very good with computers and electronics. very capable of repairing a great variety things, often teaching myself as i go. high success rate in this area. :)

various aspects of bicycle building and maintenance which i have learned over the years could be worth something. always looking to learn more in this area.

cooking is quickly becoming another skill, though i have MUCH more to learn. i love cooking together!

on the subject of learning, well just about everything is fascinating to me, but particularly would enjoy some gardening, building, or other creation-oriented activities. :)
