About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love learning from nature, people, and everything about how they interact.

ABOUT ME

I'm nomadic for now, just going from place to place and learning about how people interact with their land. I love to study earth science and write poetry about my surroundings.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the beauty you love be what you do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a beautiful July day in the North Maine Woods, a river otter followed me as I paddled my canoe beneath the profile of Mt. Katahdin.
