Cucumbers on my family's farm in northern Vermont

/about

General

23-year-old computing enthusiast, terrible ceramacist, unhinged optimist, and Vermonter in Minnesota.

Likes: bikes, hikes, Linux, fermentation, words, the smell of the mist in the woods after rain, NASA, hanging out on ridges in New Hampshire wrapped in space blankets, skis, David Foster Wallace unedited Interview (2003), Cormac McCarthy, Kentucky Bluegrass (the music), deer season, long showers, anything by Octavia Butler, four tet, merino wool, and my street in Saint Paul.

Dislikes: lukewarm baths, Santal 33, John Updike, Kentucky bluegrass (the grass), industrial animal farming, George R. R. Martin delaying The Winds of Winter AGAIN (come on dude), and blue light after ~6 pm.

Professional

Mission Statement:

  1. To cultivate a life that rewards me with the wisdom and understanding necessary to find and express peace, joy, and gratitude.
  2. To share the fruits of those virtues with others through generous gift-giving and knowledge sharing.
  3. To express taste by making offerings to reality through craftsmanship.
  4. Craftsmanship is an expression of love for the universe's gift of consciousness, sitting at the intersection of taste, skill, and intentionality.
