Grew up mostly in the PNW (mostly Oregon and Washington). Was an only child with two hippy-ish parents and spent a lot of my early childhood in the 70's out on trails and in remote wild parts of British Columbia and Alaska. Currently, I live in Eugene, OR. I am focusing more on the nature beneath my feet here in a mid-sized city. Paying deep attention and trying to be a good steward of the little piece of land I "own". (I live on the occupied land of the Kalapuya people.)
