About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a cyborg, but a good one.

ABOUT ME

After graduating from college I decided to hitch-hike around the United States visiting urban farms, alternative educational institutions, intentional communities, and anything else that looked cool. I made it 15,000 miles in four months and now I'm trying to write a book about it. Or something. And it looks like I'm still going. I love to play music, ride random bikes, read books about the future, and meet couch-surfers. I will do everything I can to make myself a self-sufficient human being and be ready for anything. I seek experiences that make me feel like either an animal or an angel.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the Void. Your life is the firework, and you are the gun.
