About me: I grew up in a small town on the coast of Oregon, the western most point of the lower 48 states. My father is a commercial fisherman and has been my entire life. Its nothing overwhelming, like the huge net boats or those Alaskan crab fishing shows on television. Its a simple life in balance with the ocean and the land. He is "The Old Man and the Sea". After moving inland with my mother to places like Nevada and Arizona, I turned my back on my past and embraced the fast paced world of the future. I studied computers and changed my diet to strict Vegan. At this point I find myself lost. I have now decided that the world is not so black and white. There is no Alpha and Omega... Just our existence. I am moving back to my hometown to slow life down, to take myself out the of grid of lies that is urban America. To work on ideas to better the world, a world that is such a fine balance. A fine balance, like the ocean and the land.

Activities: Bikes, Hiking, Swimming, Surfing, Snowboarding.

Interests: I crave simplicity and the minimal.

Favorite Books: DUNE, The Shipping News, A Wrinkle in Time, Jacob's Hands; A Fable, Ishmael, House of Leaves

Favorite Quotes: Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. - John Muir
