CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to be a better person.

ABOUT ME

I am an American immigrant in Norway working as an environmental consultant for the local government borough of Sagene in Oslo. I am also involved in the Transition Town Movement and helped found Omstilling Sagene and Sykkelkjøkkenet Oslo (The Bike Kitchen Oslo).

If there is one thing that I love most about life it is hearing your story. I love to learn about people: where they came from, who their ancestors were, and what they think of global affairs. If you have the mouth for talking, I have the ears to listen.

PHILOSOPHY
