ABOUT ME

Independent, a little ADD, good listener, I am a local who moved away and then came back to ground myself in place and "be from somewhere". I love the thrill of biking home late at night in a cold rain. I went to college, love philosophy, but choose to earn money by working with my hands. I'm a world-changer who has separated his "work in the world" from income to be independent of funders because they don't get it.

I'm passionate about trying to help people realize their power in the world and to make choices based on the world they long to see. Occasionally you'll find me getting arrested working to slow global warming. And dancing and singing with my very dear friends, who are my family, and working in my garden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the world needs real connections between people, not the kind that the media and the corporate types claim to be making.
