About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To save all the puppies in the world and make my own cheese

ABOUT ME

UPDATE: I live on a bus and will probably be traveling to a town near you!

I basically left my apartment and job and moved onto a diy sustainable bus that my friends and I have been working on since June.

PHILOSOPHY

Choose Life, Rudeboy!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like books of all kinds (I was an English major in undergrad). I can recommend you one if you like. There is also a mini library on my bus that I am happy to share. I really like non-animal sports movies...like Rudy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw my dog give birth to 10 puppies when I was 8. I almost drowned rafting the Zambezi river.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make anything out of duct tape, build your own website, drive a stick and cook a fabulous vegetarian or gluten free meal.

I really want to learn how to make cheese. I have a book and cheese cloth...

(*Note: If you know how to make cheese and would be able to teach me, I almost guarantee that you will have priority of my couch)

Countries I’ve Visited

Botswana, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, Namibia, Saint Lucia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Zambia, Zimbabwe
