About Me

CURRENT MISSION

What is a man who dose not try to make the world better

ABOUT ME

I have gone to school for and Worked in the Fields of Law/Security, Forestry, and Culinary art. I have worked in construction so have some skills in Painting, carpentry, building, home renovation. I am a bit of a jack of all trades master of none and always eager to learn something new.

I am currently traveling around Europe in search of something greater than myself. After many years of living in the US learning about the world. And the fact that in the current world situation where there are many people in need and not enough to help. I was left with 2 options 1. continue to dream about traveling Europe and beyond and making a difference or 2. get off my ass and just do it. So I guess you can say I am on a type of sabbatical or walk about Looking to learn new things in hopes of passing it on to others and for my self learn to be a better Man. .

I truly believe there is far more to life then just what most of society likes to convince people of and pound into there heads. I truly believe that we as humans are here to help each other as best as each is able. Currently and for the last 2 years I have been working with the Order of Malta as well as many other associations and churches here in France that feed people and work with the elderly, handicapped, refuges and homeless and I am hoping to be able to join Malteser international which is part of the Order of Malta that helps around the world in many ways as a first response for natural disasters. I am hoping to learn about farming/Eco farming and other skills in order to be able to help others around the world as well in this capacity and maybe one day build my own self sufficient home. at the moment I am a HelpX person which gives me the ability to travel cheaply and see cool things and meet great people and learn some of these skill's & more.

The upside to all this is I get to experience another part of life and the world and get to learn about different cultures and how they live and in doing so I can apply those skills and show others the same so that maybe just maybe it will make a difference in this world.

I love animals and according to a couple family member and friends I get along better with and understand them better than people. Lol I do have skills in Dog training/grooming and have been around horses and would love to learn horse whispering I Love cat and been told that a lot of my personality is like one well that and part dog. Lol

I enjoy bush-crafting, Leather crafting, history, music, hunting, and many other things. I am eager to learn forging or anything to do with medieval trades. would really like to learn how to make cheese. and other ways of preserving Food/Smoking meat.

Oh If you send me a FB request please send a message with it saying your from CS or HelpX so I know...... Sorry but I don't just except friend request.

I can also speak some French as well as basic German, Russian, Armenian, and a few others and eager to learn more.

PHILOSOPHY

Hummm this is hard to answer really because I live by a code of Honor so to speak and there are many parts to it that are a Philosophy. such as Better to know it and not need it then need it and not know it Or what is a man who dose not try to make the world better & If you believe in something then be willing to die for it.
