ABOUT ME

where I came from and where I am going:

Raised on the granite shelves of New Hampshire in a small, bedroom community full of clapboarded white houses, grizzled dispositions, and pastoral scenes. Then, after years of carrying on conversations in trees, it was on to the fallen empire of central New York to study Architecture in Syracuse. However, that dream quickly dissipated, and I went on to become a humanist at large. After school, it was out to the city of broad shoulders to chase down the rough urban mystic by the concrete shores of Lake Michigan. There, I worked as an itinerant teacher and ghostwriter, impersonating corporate executives and occasionally a graduate student writing papers about the important of place. Beyond reading whenever I can, I keep my eyes open on by getting lost on my bike or through spontaneous creative acts.

Jack Spicer was right when he said let the outside in. The world can teach us more than any individual genius.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched snow fall on a small island in Croatia where a man picked me up in his car when the bus didn't arrive and explained to me that they had to survive for six months when the power and food was cut off. I thought for a long time after that on what it takes for people to live solely on themselves.
