About Me

CURRENT MISSION

play drums and try to figure out this crazy world

ABOUT ME

me and my girlfriend greta just got back to nz after traveling for a year. now we are ready to nest! we are really into sustainability and community and think that really listening and caring could solve heaps of problems in the world. even though we are totes rocknroll, we are mainly accustomed to a pretty nana lifestyle, meaning we can and do party (especially if its fancy dress), but we really really like cooking good vegan food, listening to music, gardening, planning revolution, and getting 8 hours sleep each night.

PHILOSOPHY

don't wanna talk about it, just wanna do it
play nicely with others
