CURRENT MISSION

Our planet is nearly endless, no way to see it all, but worth a try. My mission is to mash the globe, meet people, learn, listen, use all my senses to explore all ends of earth and its inhabitants. Life is beautiful, must keep moving.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Bellingham, Spent the last 10 years traveling the globe, working on farms, long distance hiking, working along the way. As of now I have relocated to portland, Oregon. So much opportunity here, really thriving in my art form in metalworking, and making a living as a house painter. Loving life, and chasing dreams. Soon to be moving to the country to start a small farm and try to leave less of a foot print on the earth. Continuing on a path of learning and loving from all.

PHILOSOPHY

simplistic, sustainable living. Mash the Globe and see all the smiles.

"What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust. "

-Salvador Dali
