ABOUT ME

I have experienced this great dichotomy in my life - growing up both poor and housing insecure as a recipient of a full-ride scholarship to a private Waldorf school. A resplendent early education, I honor those teachers who helped foster in me creative and flexible thinking and a love of art and writing and forgive those who instilled in me a feeling of inferiority— a sense of otherness and un-belonging.

​

My experiences in this life have been both varied and plentiful and anything but boring. I have lived in an intentional Camphill community in rural Pennsylvania, practicing interdependence and life-sharing. I have picked berries in the Pacific Northwest, earning little more than all the berries I could eat. I have written grants and encouraged those with plenty to share with those who would otherwise go without. I have corresponded with and advocated for the poor souls who suffer from wrongful convictions, and I hold them dearly in my heart and mind as they struggle for justice and freedom. 

​

I am a father and a son, and I stand forever between the darkness and the light, an aspiring fighter for the light.
