ABOUT ME
Note to Potential Surfers: I've gotten a flood of emails this summer, many from seemingly well meaning couchsurfers. If you are intent on surfing in our house, please show a little respect and interest by providing me some information about your intent in Chicago. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to get back to you if you make show no effort from the start.
I'm on year #3 of Chicago-living, having moved north after finishing college. I work a decent bit helping to create productive, healthy landscapes for people while restoring local ecologies.
PHILOSOPHY
keep a few moving targets on the horizon.
&
a personal philosohpy in anothers words:
"We always have polite discussions; we have to sometimes get upset, because otherwise we just don't talk about the things that matter." -Kenneth Frampton
