Meet Me.

I am joyfully here to serve— as a father, as a husband, as a brother, as a son, as a coach.

I'm married to a Mexican woman. Our home is bilingual, bicultural, and richer for it.

I have worked professionally as a teacher, 1:1 coach, camp director, caregiver, and group facilitator for humans ages 2 to 77.

I've spent years in forests — guiding backpacking trips, leading wilderness rites of passage for boys and men.

I've grown food, raised animals, foraged mushrooms, and collected spring water.

I know where nourishment actually comes from.

I have four parents. 

I've gone barefoot for nine months of the year, for years.

I've worked for years with adults with developmental disabilities.

Presence, patience, and real listening aren't skills I picked up in a course.

I've worked on a railroad and forklifted in warehouses.
I'm an empath. I'm highly intuitive. I've learned to trust both.

I've never had a bad experience hitchhiking. I trust life. I also discern.

I've swum naked in many rivers, oceans, and lakes.

I've published poetry.

I've changed alternators, spark-plugs, tires, door handles.

I make a lot of music and I dance — joyfully and frequently.

I lift weights to be healthy — and so that if you break your ankle, I can carry you.
