I grew up as a country boy.

I learned from my past, and I now employ those lessons going forward, looking to the future - don't you think it's about time our government did, too?

True statement: Live it, love it, leave the wold better off than when you got here.

If we recognize the interconnectedness of the changes our planet needs, we become true solutionaries and our united power is unparalleled.

The world is so tremendously spectacular that every visual, sense, and sparked connection swells my unrestrained passion for life. I find I feel this the most when I am immersed in nature and sliding into the bloodstream of the wilderness.

There are certain places in the world that are kind of energy vortexes, which are phenomenal.

The symphonic sounds of nature awaken every cell in my body and, in that moment, without a doubt, I am truly alive.
