CURRENT MISSION

Grateful living for the abundance placed before us.

ABOUT ME

Knows that within everyone, there is greatness. The kind of person who thinks that caution stifles adventure. Happiest in nature free from our reconstituted noise. Just as comfortable alone as with others, appreciating the need for both. Would rather sleep in his car than a free hotel. Sixteen months sober, this is a big deal for me.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is about trying to build a philosophy to live by.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After a snowstorm in the high desert of Arizona, I continued to live and work in the back-country for 42 days. During this time I lived primitively, making fire with sticks, using no tents or sleeping pads. I slept anywhere between 4-6 hours a day, spending long periods of time hiking with a heavy home-made pack.

Teach, Learn, Share

Heart at Peace: What it means to interact peaceably among others.

Perspective; trying to blank the slate that is judgement of others.

Teach Primitive Skills: firemaking with bow-drill or hand-drill. Carving spoons from trees. Shelter-Building from trees and earth. Making Pendants from serpentine or other self-gathered stone.
