About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reduce suffering.

ABOUT ME

I'm vegan and drug-free(yes, that includes alcohol and tobacco). I can get along with most anyone. I'm usually pretty optimistic. I like being outside (you can probably tell from the pictures).

Making a lot of money is not important to me. I work seasonally. The rest of the time i like to travel and learn, build stuff and dig in the dirt.

Trying to implement "No is what you have, yes is what you can get."

I try to learn from my mistakes.

PHILOSOPHY

do unto others as you would have them do unto you
