CURRENT MISSION

To live life on my own terms, regardless of society's niches and pigeon-holes. I am pursuing my dream of devoting my life to art and inspiring human progress on any scale.

ABOUT ME

CJ and I are "fringe artists" and long-term nomads. We have a little cat named Ole. I have been living in Chevy vans for a good many years in Minnesota, and began taking my van cross-country as of three halloweens ago. I am a painter, writer, philosopher, musician, adventurer, photographer, tinkerer etc.

As a traveler, I meet many amazing people who open their homes to me and enrich my experience in life. CS has been an excellent tool for that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like entertainment that can be classified as "art" or "thought-provoking". Things that inform and inspire more educated and deep conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the past year alone I have done so many things; I worked as a henna artist in a touristy coastal town on the Oregon coast, I farmed in Minnesota, I wintered in an anarchist community and even was in a documentary there, the next big plan is to canoe down the entire length of the Mississippi river with CJ.

Teach, Learn, Share

American nomadic culture is as alive as ever! If you have any questions about how we survive as comfortable, happy, fulfilled "houseless" (by choice) folks, I would be happy to answer any questions.
