CURRENT MISSION

To perform puppetry on every continent. I'm up to four.

ABOUT ME

I'm into growing food, cooking, and teaching others how to do those things. I forage wild food, and raise chickens. I love Michael Pollan's work. Also Rachel Maddow, John Oliver, Barbara Erenreich. I'm slowly erecting a wood fired pizza oven in the backyard. I never dress up fancy and mostly go around in jeans and muck books. Ive been a professional puppeteer for 33 years.

PHILOSOPHY

It pays to be nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the scorched fields of steaming, bubbling pots of stinking mud called Rotorua, in New Zealand.It's like standing on the surface of a young, moist moon.
