About Me

Hey there. Welcome. I guess we are just strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand. Well, since you've stopped by let me tell you a little about me. I am an artist/musician/philosopher/computer guru/organic farmer/genious-madman with a good sense of humor, a wide variety of intrests, and above all a good heart. I am amazed at the complexe beauty of this world. Nature fills me with a sense of amazement all the time from a lonely deer to a tiedyed autumn leaf (yes, I am from New England). I am always up for conversations or debates on a wide array of topics from astrophysics to metaphysics. The spiritual world is also of great interest to me. I have had ghost experiences and I love to hear about other people's. My heart is filled with love, and compassion and I love lending a hand. Currently in college studying to be a biologist, and in the mean time, working and farming my way through life. Well, hope to hear about you soon. Drop a line, let me know you stopped by and thanks for your time!

My Interests

Music, farming, physics, psychedelica, jam bands, shamanism, buddhism, space, the spirit realm, psychology, abandoned insane asylums, the former mental health system of massachusetts, all kinds of shit
