CURRENT MISSION

See the world by land & by sea

ABOUT ME

I grew in up the American Southwest; lived in the American Northwest; and currently reside in the West Indies. I'm a musician, writer, mountaineer, medical student, sailor, horseback rider, illustrator, and lover of life.

And I serve my coffee in wine glasses :)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Ludger Sylbaris' dungeon. Look him up. You'll be amazed, I'm sure

Teach, Learn, Share

I will show you precisely how the bass buttons on an accordion are arranged ~ it really does matter ;) Besides that, however, my knowledge is truly rather limited. There's so much out there to know and it would be foolish for me to think that I could "enlighten" anyone.

But I am willing to share with you everything that I have learned in music, art, literature, philosophy, mysticism, biology, ecology, medicine, and human anatomy.
