Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Thinking about life after the journey of a lifetime.
ABOUT ME
Well, I love to travel for meeting and understanding people, their environments, and their cultures. Music is very important in my life, especially roots music. I enjoy creative endeavors of all kinds and respect all people for who they are. I'm really interested in Sustainable Agricultural development. I like to paddle, hike, camp, ski, flyfish, and explore as much as I can. I also like to reflect and think. Currently, I'm homesteading up in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina on a small piece of land near the Appalachian Trail.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is good, people are good. Let's open up to that!
