About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Creating with the moment, trying to make life more interesting."

ABOUT ME

I prefer to be in the mode of creation. I draw in public, play music any chance I get, I like to design and screen print band posters and creating Public Art for people to happen upon. I find something beautiful in the Perfect Piece of Junk. I'm a person who likes to have adventures and take in details. I enjoy having a plan and and reaching a goal, almost as much as making it up as I go along.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to add some thing positive the world while we're here.

Don't Be afraid to make mistakes, there aren't any.

You may only have one chance to be nice to somebody.

Respect each other even if you don't agree with them.

If in need, give. If you have, thank.


Bust through the concrete
and grow to the stars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2000 we adventured from Glasgow, Scotland to the only disc golf course, the Isle of Mull outside Tobermory. We took a bus a train a boat a bus and rented a car to get there. We played on a the side of a mountain with a fabulous view of the ocean , and at times shots were obstructed by sheep.
