About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world, and make it better moment by moment.

ABOUT ME

Lovers of life. After two+ years in the Peace Corps and four years traveling abroad working on grassroots projects with our non profit, The GROW Initiative, we have each found our soul mate and know that our paths together will lead to spreading love around the world. While we are happy to help in any way that is needed, sustainable agriculture is currently our passion and primary focus. Check out our projects to see what we've been up to. (www.growinitiative.org).

PHILOSOPHY

D- Life is what you make of it. So why not make it good.
B- When I pass from this world, I hope to look back on my life and be able to say that I lived it with honor and without regrets.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up every day! Really, as lucky as we've been, it would be impossible to say... Life!

Teach, Learn, Share

D- Bad magic tricks and silly jokes. Permaculture, Natural Farming, sustainable agriculture
B- I love learning and never want to stop, there are many amazing people that can teach you so much. I particularly love the environment and can talk on that topic for hours. I love cooking- would be willing to teach what I can cook and am always interested in learning to cook better! (plus the sharing of meals is in that too :)
