About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning botany and forest ecology to help save our forests

ABOUT ME

I want to wonder the world enjoying the surprises of life, daydreaming, creating lots of art and getting into a little mischief. I like to dedicate a large portion of my time creating and supporting communities and nature. I am very easy going and very curious. I must be outdoors whenever possible. I'm very athletic and handy and crafty with a wide array of mediums.

PHILOSOPHY

All I want to be is myself, no lies, no excuses, no opportunity missed, no dreams I haven't at least tried to reach, I am the change in the world, we are the change in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too hard to nail down many of my favorites they're constantly changing and flowing with life but some consistencies include:

Music: Andrew Bird, Gorillaz, Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Violent Femmes, Ali Farka Toure and so many more...

Movies: (this may be eaisier to go with directors) Quinton Tarintino, Hayao Miyazaki, Jean Pierre Junet, Wes Anderson again many others...

Books: Just finished The Hidden Forest and it was very good, Pigs, Cows, Wars and Witches, the Ishmael series, The Red Queen, Botany of Desire, Hemingway, Kurt Vonnegut and once again many more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a lobster fly and watched a balloon cross the road using a crosswalk (separately not together although that would make it more amazing!)

In all seriousness I feel like i've done and seen a lot of amazing things with my life so far and look forward to all the amazing this I have left to see and do.
