CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what it means to be neither here nor there.

ABOUT ME

Interested, generally, in both the ponderable and the corporeal. I like stories, both in wit and word. And let these impressions of reality regulate what it is I do. I am a designer and a creator. I work at a design/ build architecture/ construction firm that makes buildings that operate at extreme levels of energy efficiency. I believe we all ought to pay a bit more attention to whats going on around us, and how that has the nearly inevitable potential to effect everything else.

PHILOSOPHY

Do awesome things. See awesome things, be awesome things. If its not awesome make it that way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched an amazing and intense lighting storm come and go through Badlands National Park during a beautiful sunset. It was as if I was on some other world. The land was like nothing I had ever seen, the colors in the sky wer unlike any I had ever experienced, the rain was warmer than I anything I had ever felt, more lightning than I had ever seen. It was Surreal. Awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”

George Bernard Shaw

Anything I know and you want to know I can share. I know how buildings work, How to build things, how to talk about and make art that means something (or not), how to cook and experiment with food, How to write a play, how to answer deep question whether you know the anser or not...and plenty more.
