About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A somewhat undomesticated creature, most comfortable along the margins of society.
Soft spoken but stoked, endlessly curious.
Focused on community building, musical expression, open communication, the outdoors, and more recently, a forest farming land project on the west coast of BC.

Travelling to Ireland and Scotland to explore my roots.
