CURRENT MISSION

to learn all that I can from this life...the good, the bad, the ugly. Knowledge of experience becomes wisdom; this is the greatest achievement in life. I want to experience most of it. No one wants to be locked in a jail though...

ABOUT ME

Hey!

I love this life, I love what I do, I love what I find. I figure you build your world, your experience, and you have all the tools and lessons available to you if you can search and find them. It takes patience and understanding. I convey my experience through crafts; Im an artist of the photographic and mixed media breed.
And I love to move...bicycles, building, working, bring it on! Bmx, tour, tree forts, gardening, etc.

Great food, exceptional quality of any kind, great wine. Yes. Beers to be bitter, coffee to be sludge, bikes to be fast.

Id love to make our meeting a part of my story!
You never know where the synchronicities may lead...

PHILOSOPHY

I would love to talk with you one on one about this but essentially I figure life is about love. About loving what you do, how you spend your time; love seems to be the binding medium for everything in the world. Lets talk, huh?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on an incredible bike tour of the USA for 3 months...partly with a friend, partly solo. Learning to operate on my own (at 19 years old) in that way gave me such confidence and strength...plus the experience of all of these incredible places.
One night I wound up on a sandy beach on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In the middle of the night I awoke to a starry night with a burning red light on the horizon. I figured it was a ship but it was so bright it was curious...it was clearly far away. Well, minutes later it was much bigger. Was it a chip on fire? What was it?
Well, as it got bigger and bigger I realized it was curved. It was the sun!!

Being from the west coast I had never seen the sun rise over the ocean...I had only ever seen it set on the ocean.

So, as the sun lifted its head and warmed the earth, I lay content in my sleeping bag on the beach listening to the Atlantic waves while making coffee.
Perfect.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel like a big problem with our world right now is a lack of morality and integrity. Values are skewed -- a lot of people I have seen value money over good food, over quality of life, other people's lives. What is this competition about?
It seems there are just too many people in the world. I have no clue how that will resolve itself other than through seemingly-dark ways -- but, it seems many of the problems we face start there. I love talking about this.

Also, I know how to TIG weld, work on bicycles, and a lot about film photography.
