I was born at the age of twenty six when I left my home town in rural New Hampshire and hiked the Appalachian Trail. The next year I spent the summer and fall of aught nine as a member of SCA Wildcorps in northern California. After moving to Madison, Wisconsin to experience the culture and cuisine of America's heart(attack)land, I found I was eager to continue doing good work for this good, bad and ugly Land that I Love. Hence my return, at the age of two, to the great state of CA to live with strange people and make the world a marginally better place.
