About Me

For the last 6 years, I have been working in Alaska on commercial fishing boats as a fisheries biologist (observer). I studied biology in college because I love animals. Now, I am not as interested to work in biology. I am more interested in social issues, organic agriculture and sustainability.I am 30, liberal minded, artistic. Not musical but want to be. If you saw me, you'd describe me as a hippie. I have long red dredlocks. I travel a lot, have been to 19 countries. I recently finished cycling from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Panama City. Will eventually cycle South America. I definately have the travel bug.I have 3 brothers. They live in South Florida where I am originally from. I have family in Missouri, Florida, Seattle, Texas, New York, and London.Moved to Eugene in Jan '05 and looking forward to getting into the community after being on the move so much. I would like to promote healthy sustainable living, and organic agriculture. Eugene seems to be the place for me to try to live to these ideals. www.EugeneCooks.com I also believe marijuana should be legal, for all uses. www.legalizeitclothing.com Don't PANIC www.brothersorganic.com www.legalizeitclothing.com
