About: HEY LOOK HERE!!! I'm starting a non-profit (louisvillegrows.org) and we're are just getting off the ground. Check us out, find the facebook group and sign up for some good ol' fashion community (sustainable) growth! My life has taken me down many roads, some rough, some long, and others with extreme ups and downs, but all have taught me how to drive better, even what to drive and bring with me. I'm not one for maps, keeping faith in my sense of direction to show me where to go, always hoping that the next turn will lead me to something with more purpose and excitement. So far, so good.
