ABOUT ME

For two years I traveled the United States on a vegetable oil and solar powered school bus, now I live in Cambridge with my girlfriend Maya and our cat Dinah. I give presentations about climate change at high schools all over the Northeast and Maya teaches media literacy in the Somerville.

PHILOSOPHY

I am the universe, trying to steer a monkey
