CURRENT MISSION Figure out what next... After finally completing study, I started doing all the things that have, and continue to come to mind to keep active. At the moment I'm particularly interested in exploring sustainable housing methods through owner-builder construction and self-sufficient lifestyles. After making a bit of furniture for friends and relatives, I'm finally in the final stages of building my house while studying humanitarian architecture and disaster recovery (think hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and how to help people recovery safer, better, quicker and more sustainably) Preparing to start a PhD on the provision of culturally response social and affordable housing in Australia PHILOSOPHY say yes to everything be kind to individuals

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Cohen, Waits, northern soul, afro-beat and original disco Experimental, post-rock, folk, punk, folk-punk and blues stuff is a big part of my life too. Movies: Films that critique the world we live in are especially good. Jarmusch, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wim Wanders. Books: Palahniuk, Kafka, Auster, Dostoevsky, Murakami, Voltaire, Burgess, Burrows etc.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
most things are pretty good if you're in the right mindset. Sintra in Portugal and seeing L. Cohen were especially great. Lots of wilderness walks, I really like the desert too.
