In 2005, decided to leave the corporate '9-6' job. Scaled down consumption, to be able to leave 'low to the ground' at less than $24K per year via "sustainable green living practices". Has solar panels, wind mills, conserves water/gas/electricity, green power, Zero Waste, recycling, etc..
Currently volunteers most of his time to local and international non-profits, (60 - 80 hrs / month). Squeezes-in enough income to pay for expenses, and asks for nothing more. :]
