About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Patiently Waiting for Spring

ABOUT ME

I sometimes wonder about all the subtle steps in life that put us where we are at any given moment, and how those steps are primarily choices, and how our choices are primarily reactions to emotions, and how those emotions are undeniable uncontrollable forces of our being, and how our being is undoubtedly not just one of "me" but of "us", so what is about me is about you, and of you is of me.
But since you asked, I was raised off-grid in a remote area of Montana, desire open-space, work as a solar designer/project manager, have lofty goals, and generally enjoy most everything about life, including the good times and the bad.

PHILOSOPHY

Our connection to place, dirt, and earth, is vital to a positive path forward, for all beings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many days spent in remote wilderness areas, where the endless raw beauty and silence never cease to amaze me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing my experiences in low impact living by teaching people how I turned by home into a near zero fossil fuel consumer. Hot water and electricity from the sun, makes for a low carbon couchsurfing experience.
