ABOUT ME

Born in Roseburg Oregon. I've worked as a wildland firefighter out of high school and use that money to travel in the off season. When I wasn't traveling or working I found myself in Corvallis auditing classes at Oregon State. I worked on the founding of the Corvallis Bicycle Collective and now I run my own organic/biological gardening supply company and work as a general/landscape contractor on the side.

PHILOSOPHY

When your old and gray they can reposes your house, car and kids, but they can't reposes your memories.
