About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Vietnam, Spain, US, Australia, and then?

ABOUT ME

I've had at least 20 different occupations. Heuristic best describes my approach. I know a lot about a lot, but I'm trying to meditate more and STFU.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want any, ask for some.
If you want it all, you get none.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*bicycled solo from San Fransisco to Tijuana 2013*

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good at guitar, bass, uke, drums, vocals, and have taught them for most of my working life.

I love history, especially local and stuff not written by conquerors. So gimme what you got.

I'm trying to share time and space in a way that acts like music, or a perfectly warm sunbeam and a gentle breeze. I recognize there will be discord, but I won't be its originator or accomplice. Got to pick your battles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What can I say? People seem to find me entertaining. :)
I'm clean and conscientious, and pretty handy when it comes to anything that needs repair.
