About Me:
I am from Phoenix, born in Glendale and raised in Tempe and Gilbert. I have been living on an intentional community for the last 7 months dedicated to education and research in sustainability. creating a viable alternative the current global social/economic/technocratic system. Our community is based on cooperation not coercion, communication not isolation, teamwork as well and individual ambitions, with an ethic of WORK and PLAY, LOVE and TOUGH LOVE, FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITY and an energy infrastructure derived solely from the sunshine and water that falls on our land.
I dropped out of Northern Arizona University because, like so many others, I was on a fast track of indentured servitude to a 'career' centered consumer social system which I know to be insane, and fundamentally unsustainable, and on its way out the door in my lifetime. I want my life to be my work, and my work to be my life. I want my path to align with my ethics. I want to be able to love and cooperate with people to meet my needs, and not have to compete with my sisters and brothers; for mating, for shelter, and for the raw materials (money?!) with which we build our lives. I want to build a live TOGETHER.

Any way, upon becoming an emptynester and combined with the unrestful times of the last couple years, I relized that here, locally is the only place I can make a difference and I am commited to putting my stamp on Phx with my remaining energies.
