About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and learn as much as possible... with a life goal of finding a new career or path that helps the environment or people.

ABOUT ME

I'm essentially a hippie who's into science. I go to music festivals and enjoy balancing a good party or just plain silly fun with being on top of things. I work for Burning Man during the season, so you can find me there.

I quit my job writing software to open a school / permaculture farm in Costa Rica. That is going really well but I am now traveling again and looking for work to recharge my bank account.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I'd have to say my experiences with Ayahuasca had the most impact on me. I have a great respect for this ancient medicine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very experienced software engineer and digital artist and would be happy to share my coding knowledge with anyone willing and interested. I'm also a seasoned painter and work extensively with plants and different growing methods like aquaponics and hydroponics. I was an apprentice for sustainable architecture, but my experience is limited, though I love sharing knowledge in general!
