About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building up my farming skills and wad of cash so I can own my own farm

ABOUT ME

Let's see. I grew up in Connecticut, went to college for Political Science at Northeastern in Boston. Discovered this degree was useless. Served two years in Americorps, one in New Orleans and one in St. Croix. Came home to Connecticut and had the economy collapse on me so I went down to Georgia to help my friend start up an organic farm. Been doing that for 3 years, we are closing up shop and now I'm heading back home (hopefully for the final time) and working towards having my own farm.

PHILOSOPHY

Who would have thought the couch surfing website would make you question your whole existence. I try to follow the Buddhist principles when it comes to life but it is so hard to do. I always end up fighting with mechanics anyway!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am terrible at this, there are movies I like and then I can't remember what they were. I read lots of books and forget that I read them. I listen to Pandora radio mainly and podcasts.
