CURRENT MISSION

Bring Love to the dark places of the earth, to the abandoned parts of the Empire

ABOUT ME

I am a musician and a wanderer. I've lived in or around Phoenix Arizona for a while, going to school on scholarship, and love the desert. I've seen and done a lot of things for a twenty-one-year-old man, and I plan on seeing and doing lots more before I go home.

I don't really have any career plans, or want any. At some point in the future I have vague plans to work with government AID agencies or charities concerning the nutrition and fitness of oppressed/minority groups.

I am an intense person, a little bit off the wall, but in a way that seems to fit well for this website. I have a definite touch of fey, of wanderlust, of the sehnsucht that drives so many of us to travel the earth...

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Christian, and try every day to let the radical and revolutionary Love and Grace of Christ fill up every single aspect of my life. We are all the children of God and we are all deeply loved.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The two backpacking trips I've taken through the Grand Canyon have been indescribably beautiful, moving, and engaging.

I also once caught a bird in mid-flight with my hands on accident.

教，学，和分享

I'm a native English speaker, and studying English at Arizona State University, so I am well-equipped to teach some ENGLISH. I am half decent at Spanish, and a rank beginner in French and Russian, but love all languages and would like to learn anything.

I am also a MUSICIAN and a HEALTH/FITNESS nut, and love nothing more than to share my knowledge in those areas. If you have a musical instrument or want to cook, I'm always willing.
