Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Help the world and have fun doing it! I work in environmental projects and have a history of starting and running community projects that help people and planet. But I don]t like to take the worlds problems too seriously. A smile on my dial is how I roll
ABOUT ME
I'm an easy going guy who loves fun, adventure and relaxing.
PHILOSOPHY
Kindness and positivity.
Dance like nobody is watching, work like you don`t need the money, love like you`ve never been hurt
I meditate a lot in the Buddhist tradition, but I`m agnostic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I run a really big progam in Australia that helps thousands of people start composting and wormfarming every year (compost revolution.com.au). I really enjoy this job. I also started a and run a program that helps people start their own projects that help the world (check it out - Facebook.com/changemakersaustralia)
When I was younger I successful ran a student campaign to save the biggest inland forrest in NSW (Australian State) and permanently protect it from logging (it became a new national park)
I traveled round the world for 11 months on $10K when I was 18, and hitchhiked all round mexico.
