CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is a bit of an odd research experiment. I have been commissioned by Architizer on behalf of Audi's Urban Future Initiative to venture across the US with very little/no money and to use alternative means of transportation (e.g.not a car)

ABOUT ME

My best days happen when I can let go of fear or doubt and simply say "Hey, I fell like living today". With that, I love traveling, I love a challenge, and I love meeting awesome people along the way who know how to laugh and share a good story. If you're one of those, we'll get along fine!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is pretty standard. I believe in a world where people should be treated fairly, where one needn't go far for a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on, and we can afford to give others the benefit of the doubt in hopes that they will rise to the occasion. At least, that's the world I would like to see someday

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: anything by Tom Robbins or Kurt Vonnegut, the two authors that taught me how to think, then taught me how to think outside the box. I'm also one of those folks who enjoys a graphic novel, Garth Ennis' stories being my favorite.

Movies: Too many to count. I'm a sucker for 70's era foreign horror films. Just sayin.

Music: When I hear it I'll tell you if I like it. As of now, I like everything from Foster the People to Rob Zombie, from Lindsey Sterling to Wagner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a train up into the mountains of Alaska, just far enough to reach the start of the Yukon Territory. I stared out into a cold, isolated desert of ice and snow for about 30 minutes. That's about as close as I'll ever get to staring into the abyss of outer space.
