CURRENT MISSION

To have peace of mind

ABOUT ME

A wannabe perpetual vagabond. I love traveling, especially in remote wilderness and obscure, lesser-known places. I especially love traveling using non-motorized forms of transportation - hiking, biking, canoe, etc. I am a musician (guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, a little keyboard) and love to write and collaborate with other musicians. Laid back and smart alecky. Jack of all trades, master of none.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love.
