About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gonna build some bee hives this winter, working on a design for a workshop I can build for little money. Going to NYC and CT this fall, maybe

ABOUT ME

I like to be outside, I love coming up with an idea and then making it happen, usually with my own 2 hands. I garden, build, paint, dig holes, move rocks, chop veggies. I try to stay in the moment, I try to remain open, looking down the random dark path with interest, not trepidation.

PHILOSOPHY

memento mori, personal responsibility, living a hands on life, striving to be in the moment,to be non-judgmental, to be awake, engaged, moving forward
