About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Europe, and a film about the meaning of life. Pretty broad, huh?

ABOUT ME

I love people. I love travel, I love seeking truth and telling it. I took a year off from school to compose my own personal dream, so I built a solar powered vehicle to drive across the nation.
I have always wanted to change the world in some small way, so I started researching while working at the University of Maine at Machias, (UMM), I planted the seed of an idea and it grew, and has been growing ever since. I've read tons of books for research, and wrote my own, and contacted hundreds of people around the U.S to interview about changing the current paradigm, people such as Bill Mckibben and Ed Begley Jr., Lester Brown, and Paul Hawken. The idea is quite broad, and people always ask what I want to change, so I'll give a few ideas. It's composed of such things as big oil, corporations, democracy, deforestation, poverty, pollution, corruption, and it commends awareness and action, mobilization, peaceful intentions for change, the power of united people and the universal connection of love.

PHILOSOPHY

Love all, as often as you love.
