About Me



I talk too much. Other than that, I play in a band called the Martyr Index; I am an organizer and co-founder of UPRISE! and the Joe Strummer Memorial Society; I am a co-founder of the Haymarket Caf Worker Owned Cooperative; I am an MA student at the U of C (sorry); I do graphic design; I am interested in anarchism, mutualism and libertarian tendencies in various philosophical outlooks, epistemes and discourses; and I like to build things out of bricks and grow plants.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You.
