CURRENT MISSION

Transitioning from a life of work with a little adventure, to a life of adventure with a little work!

ABOUT ME

I am a middle age man, love art, creating art, weaving baskets, creating buildings and shelters, gardening, reading, theatre. I am a Chocolatier by proffesion, also a passionate cook. I believe that happiness is a choice, along with loving those around you. Travel is the great adventure, it is best when you can meet local people and share together. Living here in Southern Oregon is certainly a treat, Ashland is a wonderful, warm hearted and sprited town. Love to backpack in the hills, soak in hot springs, walk on Oregons beaches.

PHILOSOPHY

Give the universe what you expect in return. Happiness is a choice, suffering takes effort. Live now, seek out adventurous, be loyal and honest, live up to your obligations. Sing when you feel like it!
