About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Life is too short to live as if it were junkfood.

I have space to pay forward here near Lake Michigan in a really quietly beautiful part of the world and also in a remote part of the Island of Roatan, Honduras.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank good beer with my best friend chilled by 10,000 year old ice, had an orca swim under me to eat a harbor seal(poor little guy), been stunned at the sight of 5 blond Grizzlies on a ridge across the river, have gone trout fishing with river otters....one thing? Not possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cool idea. Karmically speaking, I think this is a great way to share positive energy. I prefer to spend my time with those that put more into the world than they take from it. I can contribute a love of nature and unique skills for enjoying it.
