About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading awareness and inspiration of permaculture, biomimicry (technology with non toxic materials and processes observed in nature) and the intelligent/actually assistance design of our cities... Through my music

ABOUT ME

I'm a very diverse person with a variety of life experiences and perspective

I'm very athletic and active outdoors. I like to do yoga, ski, hike, bike, kayak, swim, longboard, play volleyball, basketball, tennis, badminton, golf, soccer

Love seeing and experiencing beautiful new places and faces. Communal living can be fun. Crafting primitively and building modernly are some things I've done over the years but I'd like to do more... I'm very hands on and artistic. Holistic approaches, fermenting and foraging are swell. Sociology and anthropology have been interests over the years

I play alt/prog/ambient/folk rock and electronic with mostly guitar, some keys, mandolin, banjo, flute, hand drums, harmonica, didjeridoo and whatnot sprinkled in. Can play just about anything

I'm a healthy eater/drinker and will eat/drink basically anything as long as it benefits mah bod and brain

PHILOSOPHY

Love lots, be kind, learn from nature

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summoned a crawldad to climb up a rock to me, singing into a river at a pinnacle
