Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make it happen with what you've got and build community wherever you grow your roots.
ABOUT ME
HIGH energy! Love doing anything rediculous, especially if it is strenuous and involves being outside. NO CAR. We need to seriously re-evaluate our car subsidized culture, ride a bike! I love Rock Climbing, Hiking, Kayaking, Snowboarding, Surfing and know a lot about the adventure opportunities in Northern California. (Nor-Cal is subjective but for these purposes it is North of Chico/Sac). I live in a Yurt so bring a warm sleeping bag if you visit in the winter (working on the stove).
PHILOSOPHY
To be good/competent at everthing I put my mind to, consequently I am master of nothing!
