About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tend to my roots!!

ABOUT ME

I crave adventure and love seeing what this world is all about. I believe in sweat equity and skill shares. I often think about the big questions and am finally learning to ask them. I also take my silliness very seriously.

Currently living in a house with several interesting roommates, a brood of chickens, a chihuahua named Falcor, veggie and herb gardens, a cob pizza oven, and projects aplenty. Working at a farm growing food for a CSA and teaching compost classes.

To clarify the gender section: I am not actually several people, but I identify as genderqueer. My preferred pronouns are they/them/their. That is cool though that CS offers a third option on gender. I suppose it would be fun to be several people at once! And maybe CS might add a trans* option soon, which would be rad!

PHILOSOPHY

May all beings thrive.

Music, Movies, and Books

A few I enjoy:

Amelie. Wristcutters: A Love Story. The Royal Tenenbaums. Documentaries.

Mirah. The Books. Django Reinhardt. Balkan Beatbox. Hurray For the Riff Raff. Le Loup. Woody Guthrie. The Devil Makes Three. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Fela Kuti. Skip James.

I thrive on eclecticism. I love getting to know people through the sights, sounds, and ideas they are most passionate about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ended up in court for allegedly spreading cholera.

Teach, Learn, Share

Compost anyone? I'll help you build a worm bin or a pile. Maybe a toilet if the cards are right.

I'm eager to learn new languages and useful skills. Even a trick or two would be nice.
