CURRENT MISSION

See the world inside out

ABOUT ME

I'm a beard-advocate, bordering on a beard-pusher.
I'm involved with food security and sustainable agriculture, and I do my best to promote workable solutions through leading a low-impact lifestyle and engaging in community based projects.
I like to laugh and I hate to rush. I'm big on reading and the radio and not so big on television.
I love being in the outdoors, working or playing, and I think camping is the best vacation. I love to cook and learn a new recipe or try a new ingredient. I like to spend an afternoon in the garden and watch things grow. I've just started rock climbing as a hobby, and I'm planning on starting yoga. Other than that, I like to play footbag and I love slacklining.

PHILOSOPHY

The larger the searchlight,
the larger the circumference of the unknown.
- Dick Taylor
