CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to document wooden boatbuilding traditions of central Mexico, to look for a legendary, undocumented reptile that may live in Oaxaca, and to soak up some artistic and musical inspiration..and of course there is more..

ABOUT ME

I have always wandered, but never aimlessly. I always have many projects and goals going at once so I can bounce back and forth. I have always lived under the radar and ridiculously below the poverty level(at least what Americans consider the poverty level), but I have never felt poor. I love writing songs and playing guitar and drawing and painting pictures and building things and helping people that I like and I have traversed the North American continent 58 times.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, explore, grow, share,..no time to waste.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I haven't seen a movie in a long time, I'll listen to any music at least once. As far as books..anything that's solid, if that makes sense.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

When I was floundering, exhausted and alone in a storm, in a small sailboat off the coast of California, a Gray Whale led me to a safe harbor, then said goodbye by extending his snout over the transom of my boat, letting me touch him..then slipping back into the sea...and rejoining his family.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can fix things, from cameras to cars.
I like to share my knowledge of experiences with nature,
birds and reptiles and insects and mammals..

I would love to learn about local history and indigenous language and folklore and legends..
