Most of my adult life I've spent in Olympia, WA, plus a few stints in rural North Central Washington. I have focused on small-scale sustainable farming, with a particular interest in small dairy animals. I play stringed various stringed instruments and love to sing, both my own songs and raucous sing-alongs.

I have a medium sized, relatively well-behaved herding dog named Edie who goes with me everywhere. She can sleep in my truck if need be.

This Spring I am taking a break from my life in Olympia, traveling around on a shoestring budge, living out of my truck, and seeing where the road takes me. I'm always happy to meet new people.

I'm not much of a movie/tv watcher, can't think of the last movie I watched, though I enjoy an occasional Wes Anderson movie, or an over-the-top muscial, and I'm a sucker for Downtown Abbey.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Fixed the head gasket on my 1981 corolla wagon. I was pretty amazed, anyway. Otherwise I'm not really much of a mechanic.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach music improvisation, and I have lots of stories about crazy farm adventures. I'm fascinated by draft animals, and would also love to learn to make tatoos!

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

music, farm and garden work, a kind ear. I've lived in a lot of shared living arrangements, many of them pretty funky by modern standards. I believe myself to be a conscientious guest/community member.
