new bio:
I recently moved to Pittsboro, NC in a sustainability-minded community of 10 spread over three houses, who are mostly involved with Piedmont Biofuels (www.biofuels.coop).

I'll be in the Bay Area half-time in March, April, and May, welding up a biodiesel system and training in martial arts, and I'm looking for a few people to swing dance with, go shooting with, do biodiesel experiments with, or going sailing with, and am always looking for people around Chapel Hill/Raleigh who are passionate about sustainable living, renewable energy, do-it-yourself, homesteading, interesting cooking, and the aforementioned shooting, swing dancing, welding, and martial arts.


old bio:
I'm a jack-of-all-trades builder/electrician, currently working on adding welding and machining to the skills life list, and am still trying to figure out how to make these skills useful in saving the world.

I"m from the anarchist/ gutterpunk scene originally. I've spent time in New York and Asheville NC primarily before moving out to the East Bay a few years ago to pursue city resources and superior shop space that I couldn't get back there.

the last few years I've been spending a lot of of time among rightwingers and fundamentalists cause they're interested in renewable energy (obviously outside the Bay Area) - Im living some 'commie pinko faggot meets the Jesus People' experiment.

organized East Bay DIY Skillshare Conference (200-2003ish) with the Tinkers Workshop and the East Bay anarchist scene

organized charity build group Builders' Circle

started open-source backyard-biodiesel project

I'm recovering from a disabling case of longterm Lyme Disease, which I'm successfully handling herbally at the moment
