CURRENT MISSION

Erasing my ecological footprint.

ABOUT ME

I currently live with my girlfriend Amanda in Missoula, MT-continuing my life after Grad school working for a Non-profit Community Farming and Gardening Organization (www.gardencityharvest.org). I am honing my skills in hopes that I can start my own farming project in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice random acts of gardening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf, host, and explain CSing to anyone who hasn't heard of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing probably saved my life.

Interests

My biggest interests right now are sustainability and the prevention of ecocide, as well as environmental, political, and economic change, and community building through grassroots movements. I'm really into Biodynamic Agriculture, Permaculture, fermentation, natural building, long cycling commutes, "living the good life" and activities that involve immersion into nature - hiking, camping, rock climbing and mountain biking.
