CURRENT MISSION To become a warrior-monk, a rennaisance man, a teacher and learner. Full of lifes chaotic beauty and serene connection. working towards a world that is joyful, kind, free, peaceful, adventurous, sacred, and sustainable ABOUT ME I have had fun so far. i laugh a lot when im happy, i frown a lot when im unhappy. i like to bike around and dream. I am very fuzzy. I love to travel, but i suppose that is obvious. and adventure.i dropped out of high school and college, both to educate myself in ways that i think were far far more interesting. i enjoy good friends, drink, song, culture, people, beatiful places, simplicity, wabi-sabi, honor, creativity, earth, water, meaning... PHILOSOPHY that wild full-feeling wonderness that you sometimes get. thats my philosophy. and that the mind is either a tool to be used by the heart, or no good at all.

Teach, Learn, Share
I have been interested in, and studying, sustainable design and living, focusing on urban sustainability. but i have a wide range of interests and have been self-educating for seven years off and on, so really enjoy teaching and learning in unorthodox environments. i can teach just about anything ive listed as an interest, at least as far as i understand it.
