About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trust Everyone! Rely on NO one......

ABOUT ME

Create your own visitor map!
I am one of the most self-entertained people you will ever meet. My hobbies and passions fill up my time near completely. Always active, always down for whatever, and interesting to talk to. Attentive, engaging and verbose, i have been told that if what i was saying wasn't so funny, that i would be talking way to much.
I play any and all percussion, and many other types of instruments. I own a HANG drum, a super rare melodic metal drum from Switzerland, and am a circus performer with the AK Fire Circus when i am in Alaska. If i meet you in the summer i can show you the community we are trying to build of performers and freaks that comprise the festival season of Alaska. I travel for the freeing aspect, and to engage emerging cultures and movements. I spend my summers home, in Alaska, and my winters collecting new skills and locales.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer Solstice in Alaska, '05... smoke in the air because of forest fires, and the sun barely descends over the horizon, right behind Mt. McKinley and Foraker. As the shadows cast by the mountains pierce through the smoke, what looks like black searchlight beams stab out over the Knik Arm. Beauty personified. Swam with beluga whales in the Arctic Ocean. Bagby Hot Springs in Oregon. Zoobomb! in Portland. Bernal Heights in San Francisco. Snowfall over the Sierra Nevadas. BRC '07. Moontribe Gathering, in the middle of the Mojave. Standing in solidarity with Occupy NYC while NYPD drug us away. More than one but experience is manifold.

So more than one thing but experience is manifold.

Teach, Learn, Share

Percussion anything. I have fingers of fury.
Fashion sense of a learning-challenged, no-mirror-having child.
Learning to fly while lucid dreaming.
Booty-shakin' action. (don't stop!)
Also, i like to scribble with ink, paint, bleach, and food products.
Hopping over fences, going through dumpsters in the darkness.
