To quote the immortal Jay-z, "I lived a life you could write a book on, and man I tell ya, it will be a bestseller". I feel that. Someday I'll write that book. But right now, I'll just give ya the bullet point style overview.
Raised in the Pacific Northwest to Hippie Parents, wolves, and gardens. Mother and Father were pot growers in the outlaw crazy 80's. Father was murdered and crops were stolen. Mom later struggled with mental illness and substance abuse issues, was adopted. Bounced around a lot. Was a wild youth often in trouble with the law. Charged with felony before 20 (for growing marijuana). Turned life around, got a labor job and saved up to study abroad in Thailand. Spent time in Thailand meditating with monks as well as partying on beaches with world traveler kids. Came back to the states bounced around for a while and entered college. Studying sociology, psychology, history, creative writing and philosophy in college. Ended up getting general studies and philosophy degrees. The diploma has sat in a box unused for over a decade now (but I do think I have become a working philosopher). Graduated at the dawn of the Great Recession and proceeded to bounce around some more, visiting over 30 states. Wound up in Seattle, before moving to Eugene. While in Eugene, I became a founding and pivotal player in the Occupy Eugene movement. From there came years of more activist projects which eventually settled into gardening and permaculture activism. I co-founded the Eugene Avant Gardeners and acted as the director of gardening operations for Atlas Solutions, Inc. I also developed and lived at an urban homestead and edible food forest for 7 years. Along the way I worked teaching summer camps to kids and art therapy classes at alternative high schools. I also helped develop the downtown youth initiative with the city of Eugene, a successful and innovative program working with street youth. From there I began managing camps for the unhoused for Community Supported Shelters turning "homeless camps" into intentional communities. This lead to me developing training material for working with trauma and the unhoused. All the while, I have also performed music, spoken word poetry, and public speaking across the Pacific Northwest at colleges, conferences, festivals, churches and protests. I am an organizer for Community Village at Oregon Country Faire and regularly perform at OCF. I also am a regular performer at the Whiteaker Block Party. I am also a very involved and loving father of two kids.
Trust me, the full story with all the juicy details will come someday in a better way. Much Love y'all.
