About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To increase the well being of mankind anyway I can.

ABOUT ME

My name is Brian. My wife and I are full time artists. We make our living by traveling the country playing music and showing our pictures/short films.

We converted our touring bus to run of solar panels and waste vegetable oil. We are very much against the use of fossil fuels, as well as the rape and extortion of our planet for the profit of a very few.

My wife and I started a non-profit organization called Journey4YOUth back in 2004; with the purpose to give people an opportunity to experience philanthropy in 2nd and 3rd world countries.

We spent some time in OZ & NZ, SE Asia, and Kenya Africa. Since being back in The States we have been touring pretty consistently playing music and raising money and awareness for various projects.

Right now, Journey4YOUth is supporting a feeding program for 36 children on Rusinga Island, Kenya. We lived in the village and fed the children ourselves. Thus, knowing exactly where the money goes, and who it goes too.

Music has been my life for the last few years. So, I guess anything that has to do with music is cool with me!

I enjoy being outdoors. Hiking/tramping. Bonfires. Meeting good people.

Learning.

Helping.

Culture.
Katie and I just got certified in Permaculture Design, so we're really interested in gardens, sustainable agriculture, and helping out people who are striving to be organic.
