CURRENT MISSION

To do good work, to be happy, and to be surrounded by friends and family.

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about good food (eating, sharing and growing) and permaculture. Professionally I'm a natural builder, using things like to clay, sand, straw to build simple, beautiful shelter. I enjoy hiking, climbing, cycling, and canoeing, and I love a good soak in hot springs.

PHILOSOPHY

To live simply but fully.
