CURRENT MISSION

Produce hydrogen fuel from photosynthesis. Enjoy life while doing it.

ABOUT ME

I have a deep, almost spiritual love for nature and all things natural.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a long series of experiences, and what is most important is to feel what is most real and true in each moment. Most people go to grad school pursuing a degree and work their butts off to get it. I came to grad school pursuing an idea, and I try to balance my work with the rest of my life.

教，学，和分享

Jack of all trades, master of few, perhaps.

I can teach you to brew tasty beverages, to tend (and butcher) chickens, to plant and nurture seeds, to understand the workings of the weather. I know a bit about the natural and geological history of Oregon, but I have friends who are much better versed. I can show you how to build your own computer and do electrical projects.

I'd love to find folks to sing and jam with. Not professionals or semi-pros - just folks who enjoy sitting around a fire and sharing songs or lending their voice to the choir.
