About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm getting into International Development, so far I've been doing relief work after disasters.

ABOUT ME

I'm just your ordinary average guy, trying to do my part in the world. I have a myspace account, http://www.myspace.com/inspeye re

PHILOSOPHY

If you are fortunate, you should use that good fortune as an opportunity to help others.

Be open minded, seek out that which isn't normal for you, leave your comfort zone, and you can truly grow as a person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love stuff that makes me think. Right now I'm reading lots of stuff about sustainable development, like Gaviotas, Cradle to Cradle, the Sustainability Revolution, and stuff on physics like Conscious Acts of Creation. I'm also reading Ishmael, The Prophet, and The Alchemist.

Musically, I love hip hop, classic rock, jazz, funk, soul, alternative, blues, zydeco, bluegrass, turntablism, classical, hawaiian, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen people who've lost everything from storms or floods bounce back and help others selflessly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English, Spanish, and Thai.

I can fire dance.

I know some martial arts.

I can gut a house in a day.

I bushwhack trails through jungle, and cut hurricane-destroyed trees off houses.

I know more about underground hip hop than just about anyone.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Peru, Thailand, United States
