CURRENT MISSION

to have a good time....all the time

ABOUT ME

i like time off. i work to live, not live to work. winter is nice, i prefer it. chopping firewood and hauling water is fun for me. every day is a gift. i spend a majority of my time with dogs. once you've lived near the ocean, you can never look back. walking or biking is the best way to experience a landscape. i try to live as low impact of a lifestyle i possibly can: i live off-the-grid and try to consume as little as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

i am thankful every time i eat. i believe overpopulation is our biggest challenge, so i've decided not to have children. i am suspicious of republicans, overly religious people, any time i see a line of american flags and, especially, of people who don't like dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i got to see the northern lights atop a mountain in the alaska range, with 15 dogs, at 4 a.m., at minus 20 degrees with no one else around. that took my breath away

Teach, Learn, Share

i'd be glad to teach people how to open a beer bottle with whatever might be handy.
