CURRENT MISSION

teach the children.... well

ABOUT ME

I am an artist at heart, compassionate and experimental, yet a realist in the sense that I cant make a living plucking my banjo or throwing my cheap paint around. I have found teaching to be my means of income, but also my muse as that is the job that allows me to feel the least stressed and the most effective in my community. Kids make me smile in how they percieve the world and how they grow in clearly observable ways from day to day. Knowing that I can influence that growth in a positive way is a complete bonus.
To be honest, I am rather self consumed, and would love to just have all the time to myself so i could read, explore the world with my girlfriend, create, play music, read some more, then reflect and then start the process all over again until i am so old that i cant remember my name.

PHILOSOPHY

Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is THE BEST...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Jumped off an 80 foot cliff, survived coventry and its 36 hours of traffic, graduated college,

when i was 12 i ate 22 or 24 half dollar pancakes. that was a proud day.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am open minded and much spills out of a open mind so anything I can learn will be new in some respect. I know i cant be a master in anything so teach me all you know.

What can i do for you. well if you have a musical instrument and are a novice i could give you a lesson or three. If you like art we could create a new piece together. If you want to make wine i can teach you how. if you just want to get philosophic and act like we both know what we are talking about or ponder over the fact that the truth is the exact opposite that works too.
