CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place! Seriously. We need new ways to live sustainability and I'm trying my best to make that happen in a fun, productive and nurturing way.

ABOUT ME

Long time enviro type that has many fingers in many pies, but all taste like ways to create a future filled with abundance. From food to friends, teaching and learning, loving and laughing. Drum circles to afternoon naps. Creating a new tribe through connections - growing food in a ridiculous location and trying everything we can to live lightly and lovingly on this planet.

PHILOSOPHY

Live abundantly

Followed the Tour de France several years as a press photographer. Lived in New Zealand as a kid and still love it.

Most amazing thing I've seen is a rainbow that moved across an insanely beautiful landscape while I stood and watched.
