About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've abandoned my job as an Engineer which I occupied for the better part of a decade and I'm now traveling from New Mexico to Alaska in my 1971 VW bus for to be a fishing man.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to strike some manner of meaningful balance between the simplicity of old and the necessity inherent in the complexity of new, to create things of permanence that will outlive myself be them physical or otherwise. I'd like to see a world that doesn't throw itself away quite so often, that doesn't make rash decisions about the future before taking the time to understand how it got to having to make the decision in the first place and that simply does its damnedest to leave things a little better then they were found.
